    I just took my OME kit off after having it for almost 7 years. It served me well but the leafs eventually did sag, but then those were a dakar pack i believe that was sold separately since back then no one really packaged a full kit together from what i remember.

    I know people that have had them. Friend of mine @3pooches probably has more to say on them then I can. to sum up if I remember correctly. They burn up fast, have fade, and are not in the same league as Kings. Ive also heard they do shitty in colder weather.

    I know lots of guy with OME. Lots of guys will Billys. Lots of dudes who run kings.

    I dont know anyone off the top of my head that run foxes.

    I have had the fox coils and shocks for 3 yrs and almost 30k. No problems at all. it rides like a dream. I can't comment in the ome.
    i also have icon aal in the rear and have handled heavy weights without an issue.
