Old Man Emu (OME) shocks & leaf springs - any opinions?

Thinking of replacing the shocks and rear springs on my H3. Looking at the OME; they have a favorable name with the Jeep and Toyota crowd.
OME appears to have a well engineered product for off-road without impacting the design geometry.

Has anyone used them? A search revealed no comments.
Thanks.

I'd have no issues running anything from ARB/OME! I had their stuff on my Rover's and Jeep's. Shocks were very good and so were their coil springs!

I have put OME on the front after I busted the top off 2 sets of Fox Fronts. The OME are tough as nails & they have been brilliant (I still have the Fox on the rear)

I had OME on one of my prior FJ40s, they make quality stuff.... but they are pretty expensive - to the point that the next FJ40 I owned, I had custom springs made and saved about $800.00 - and still had military wrap ends.

i like that OME has the plastic rock guards instead of the rubber expanding ones like bilstein. I've never owned them but they do have a very good reputation. most people would take bilstein over OME, but you can't really go wrong. OME is more geared toward on-road comfort and off road ability, from what I read.

OME shocks and springs completely changed how both my 05 TJ/LJ handled on/off road. I would have stuck them on my H3 vs Bilstein's but I couldn't find anyone with them in stock.
