Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Has anyone tried Old Man Emu shocks?

BDS, ReadyLift, Smaxx... You name it, we know about it here.

Anyone have experience with Old Man Emu shocks. Karo mentioned he has a set.

I'm looking at using them with Z-71 and no spacers.

They are highly regarded in some other platforms.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Yes, first heard about OME on recent trip to Brisbane. Aussie opinion was very positive but our platform is not imported there. At least one member here has installed them on a TB and I was wondering what was involved.
