Do the Old Man Emu leafs come with the bushings or do they have to be bought seperately? Any experience with their heavy load 2" leafs?

i would assume they come with bushings. from what i've heard of OME "lifts" is that it is more of a suspension than a lift. IE: a nicer softer ride, not as much of a lift. i dont know if you get as much lift as advertised. they do make a good product though, i like my OME shocks.

I have the heavy load. Unless you tow frequently or carry heavy loads in the back, i would opt for the medium springs. You get more lift with the mediums than with the HD. I got only 2" with mine. I got my springs from another guy on jeepforum and he already had the bushings installed but i don't think they come with them.

Note: Old Man Emu XJ springs do not come with bushings. We recommend bushing kit 52000503/4, or you can purchase factory replacement OEM spring bushings from your local auto parts store.
Jeepin has all three different springs so check em out.



That's the HD spring with overload. I took off the overload because i don't like how it hangs downs.
