Add leaf to springs

[axel]

Hey guys,

Currently have OME medium springs in the back (meant to be rated around 200kg mark) but am looking at adding a leaf which ARB have advised will add about 150-200kg in load rating. Has anyone done this sort of thing before? I'm not to familiar with the process but willing to get a few mates around and have a go instead of paying $350 fitting!
Any advice would be great.

Cheers.

Yep i added leaf to my constan load efs springs
Its quite easy
Remove springs and add xtra leaf then refit springs
I did one side at a time
Took about 3 hrs all up
Rear doesnt sag now when towing or loaded up
Bit of a harsh ride but ime ok with that

Yep, done exactly what you are looking at - OME medium plus one leaf. Worked well for the last few years. However due to my current load carrying setup, will need to change to "Heavy" plus the higer-rated OME Nitrocharger Sport dampers (I currently have the lighter rated dampers).

which leaf are you adding? main or load leaf?
