Sick and tired of the leaning OME HDs on the Disco. Been trying and trying to get those bastards to send over some new ones to no avail, only excuses thus far. I was curious as to anyone's experience with the Bearmach Big Blues? Thanks in advance.. Robert Sublett

I'm at 2.5" lower on the passenger side already. I've heard the switch the springs suggestions. However, does that not kind of defeat the purpose of a 2" lift? If that spring is sagging that much over there, will swapping them really make all that much difference? I am at my wits end and I called John at RTE this evening and he is already out. I was just curious as to what the opinions where on the Big Blues. I'll most likely be getting(at least ordering) some RTE springs next week. Anyone with hands-on experience with the Big Blues keep chiming in. Peace.. RS

Thanks Kyle, I'd already posted again before I saw your response.. I'll take your word above most all others in respect to the quality of build of things. Later.. Robert

Ah, the voice of Christopher Walken-


I felt like speaking to an individual that way on Monday while trying to gas up at a nearby Exxon.("Uh Sir, your tone, it's, it's all wrong") Kept telling me to stand next to my Rover while gassing up- Funny because I was walking around the station looking for one of those squeege's to use on my rear window- It was pure Rover envy-

Soldering Iron anyone ? Maybe to fix all the saggy springs ? Or stab someone in the face ?

They sag but don't I remember hearing reports that they sag from 3 inches down to 2 and then pretty much stay there????

I personally run 2 inch rovertyms and wouldn't change them for the world.

I had some that were complete crap, but I am told that the new ones do not have issues like the old ones. OME had issue, RTE had issues, so this seems plausible. The 110 has some in the back but its not like they have been under a lot of stress . . . so I can say how newer ones are.
