OME Complete Suspension

[CrnCnn]

Has any one ordered this from the Rocky Road website?.. Wondering about the quality of the shock.

Thanks

I have 2 Troopers with that setup and my VX had (maybe still has, adam?) those shocks and VX springs. I really like OME shocks and they are a quality unit. I've gone through lot of stock shocks (including 2 dead VX shocks) and have yet to have an OME die - knock on wood.

A few of us participated in a fairly extensive review of all the shock options in another thread recently. I don't recall OME shocks being included in that.

I run OME 912 springs with Rancho 9000x shocks which is a fairly popular configuration, but after about 4 years I think I'm due for new shocks. I'm interested in more opinions about the OME's as well.

As Tad mentioned above, my vx (formally his) still has OME's installed and I like them fine. They were installed before I got it so I dont have anything to compare to though.

Does that "complete suspension" pacakge include more than the four shocks and two springs?

[Nazrat]

You'll also get 6 nice boxes, 4 shock bushing sets and a receipt. Maybe I shouldn't speak for rocky-road but that's what OME offers as a suspension system for Isuzus.

I wrote them and email to see what all comes with it.

[PHO2GR4]

I was just wondering, because their only other options are buying the 4 shocks and 2 springs separately...and that adds up to less than the 'complete' price.

[CrnCnn]

Yeah it is like 100 dollars cheaper that way it seems

[CrnCnn]

This is what I got in reply to my email ...

"The kit includes front and rear springs, front and rear shocks.

Voted by Four Wheeler magazine readers as one of top ten 'All Star' Manufacturers in the U.S. "

Now I wasnt aware of any springs in the front... ... might be better off ordering everything separate. Saves a hundred dollars

[ZEUS]

OME offers torsion bars which ARE springs - I assume he means they include those with the kit. I think the OME torsion bars sell for $200.

[CrnCnn]

Well when I think of torsion bars I think of actual bars. I don’t like to ASSUME anything when it comes to 550 dollars.

[CrnCnn]

"Brain deadness. That's what I get for working on a holiday.... no front springs, just front shocks, rear springs, rear shocks."

The last email I recieved.

So that is what comes for our VX from Rocky Roads

So: I'm not trying to be picky here, but a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks.

If I buy those components separately, using their pricing, I'll pay $423.19.

If I buy them together, as a package, I'm paying $523.

Wha' hoppen? Whooza? Whassa?

Might try emailing them. They put the VX page up pretty quickly and may have just made a mistake.
