I have ARB bull bar and Warn 9000lb installed on my disco and have already replaced the spring and shock with Old Man Emu (popular in Australia) My problem is the truck seems to bottom out more often than I would like transversing up and down the bridge, ramp etc. What can be done to help this situation. I dont want to install a harder spring rate since the current one is the medium wt spring and gives me a harsh ride already. Will installing additional shock absorber at each of the wheel help out the situation? Has anyone here have double shock installed up front / back? How is the ride compared with just one single shock each end.
Appreciate all the comments.
thanks

OME specifies that their different duty springs (medium duty vs. heavy duty) are designed to handle different amounts of additional weight. I don't have the specific kg increments on hand, but sounds like you may be heavier than the intended weight for those MD's. I run HD front with stock bumper setup, and handling is fine.
