samurai leaf springs
« on: March 24, 2008, 06:29:49 PM »
 i went to order new leaf springs for 4 corners and bushings for my 87. new arb leafs all parts added up to $370 got to final page and see the shipping options. cheapest is $270  >:( i'm not that stupid. (over night was $1050) so i did a search on the arb site. local les schwab is a dealer. went down today, they never heard of arb springs. have no listing as being a seller in the computer. they are supposed to research it and get back to me.  i'm not holding my breath

If it is suspension, it will probably be listed under OME, or Old Man Emu.  What size springs where you trying to order?

Where were you trying to order from? Hawk Suzuki carries OME springs. Shipping shouldn't be too bad to central Oregon. Hawk is in the Medford area.

Schwabbys should be able to get them for you. As was mentioned, ask for the OME springs.

http://lowrangeoffroad.com/samsuspparts.htm is selling the rancho leaf springs, 1 1/2" over stock, made for sprung under, and you can easily flip the bolt pin for sprung over.....  400.00 bucks, with new bushings, can't beat that! check them out.......  thats what i am running, with 33's, and sprung over....  i'm lifted like 7 inches from it,  good ride, and better flex too!

I can't remember what I paid for shipping to Salem, but I guarantee I wouldn't have paid over 50.00.

still can not put good price with cheap shipping. a couple places it would be cheaper to drive there and pick up, but they are top dollar price on parts. found one place with free shipping and $550 for $360 worth of parts.
