Yes, I've read about the TF springs sagging. A friend of mine has OME HD springs and shocks on his 01', he has a steel front bumper and loads up a lot of camping gear/tools/etc in the back and I don't ever recall seeing it sag due to weight. Rides pretty good too. I didn't want to spend the OME money when I bought my T.F. Kit.

I had made up my mind to save for th OME springs and luckily found a New in box set on ebay for about half retail.

I let a good used set of OME shocks slip through my fingers last month. Only wanted $250 but I was tight on cash and missed them by about a week. Kicking myself for thay one

I've had my TF D1 coils sag (right front specifically), but my TF D2 MD springs haven't sagged all. Their only issue = silver paint just falls off...

I have a set of OME HD springs on my 99 and they look brand new and Zero sag.

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I am installing an ARB steel bumper onto the front so that should smooth out the ride and should load up the HD springs on the front. As the for the rear, well that'll just have to stay put for now until I think of adding a steel bumper. I'm running about 35 psi on all 4 and could prob drop that some..

Since TF springs sag in the long run, keeping the HD set up may actually become a MD setup over time?
