Seems like many members have added an Old Man Emu (OME) suspension system to their 80 series Land Cruiser. I am considering doing the same and have some questions:
(1) If you don't put front and rear bullbars with winch in front do you still need to add the OEM for the stated benefits of just slightly increase ground clearance and a stiffer ride? I have heard that the OEM is most helpful in offsetting the vehicle weight gain with added bull bars and winch.
(2) My ride with stock springs and suspension is already stiff. How much more stiff will the OME make my vehicle?
(3) Is there a better system available to install that can be dialed in (air or other) depending on size of load you're carrying?
(4) Is this really worth doing and why?
FYI my use of vehicle is mixed. It's a daily driver and work truck carrying medium sized loads of lumber or other materials and a off road moderate 4x4 on weekends or longer road trips.
Thanks for your help in helping me justify this expense.
