OME v Deaver

[Russd]

I emailed them about shipping and how they would fit height wise in a tremor. They emailed back about the fitting but not shipping.

I'd give them a call. I picked mine up today after ordering them late last night. I didn't get an email regarding the order but a phone call early this morning instead. They were ready for immediate pickup today.

Looks nice.
I dropped some coin on another John Deere the other day so I should probably pass.

Thanks!
Installed it today. Took 5 hours , mostly solo. Came out great and not terribly difficult. Immediately felt more rigid in the rear and riding a little higher even though it claims to have 0 lift. I'm sure it will settle after a bit.

Not a big enough lawn for any John Deere where I live but hopefully in the future. Haha

Not ganna lie, its crazy how they designed it to be comfortable with so many leafs in one pack. Usually you would only see something like that on a heavy duty truck

I agree. When I first saw them I was surprised. Then I lifted them up and damn they're kinda heavy. I'm looking forward to testing them on a trail and break em in.

It is a great deal at that price but the shipping quote was like $425. I work at a ford dealer now an I can get tremor leafs for like $720 for the pair so it's not that much more. Having them picked up wasn't lining up for me.

I don't blame you. The shipping cost kills that deal. Those tremors should work just as well.

Right away , I wasn't sure I felt a huge difference but after getting up to highway speeds I definitely noticed it being smoother. Granted, I already had Fox 2.5 w/reservoirs in the rear when I added the leaf pack. It's sitting higher than I expected but I'm sure it will settle.

Overall I'd say it's definitely improved the ride. I've only put about 40 miles on them so I'm looking forward to driving a little more to really feel them out. Lemme know what you think. Btw, if you're installing alone...use a wratchet strap to help pull the front eye into place in order to place that first bolt. Good luck!

Actually that's what makes it so great. The leafs start with a lower spring rate and increase as you go through the travel. So it's nice and soft and the spring rate progresses to stiffer as more of the leafs are needed. Much better than stock for sure. That's the downside to one parabolic spring that the truck comes with is that you don't get all of those spring rates in one package.

They are so great. I didn't know I needed to use grease when installing so I instantly got a squeal at the front eye.

Yeah I was a little lost as to what grease was best. Ended up going with Valvolene multipurpose. Haven't heard any noises yet, so finger's crossed. Looking forward to taking this thing on a trip to really see how she's improved.

I did contact APG and they said to use moly lube.

Good to know, I'll pickup a can and try it out. APG is great, 3 month wait for any service right now, so they're busier than ever. Cheers!
