Gday.

I am going to change my suspension set up on the ute a bit to fine tune it.

I am thinking of selling my
SPRINGS. 4 inch Dobinson HD flexy coils (21,000 km) $400 set new
SHOCKS. F. 11 inch travel Offroad Boss (11,000km) $285 each new
R. 13 inch travel Offroad boss (11,000 km) $285 each new
4 inch superflex drop radius arms (21,000km) the superflex arm has new bushes (2000km) $1300 new

close to 3 grand worth of gear for $800


would prefer to sell to a member of the forum
Does that sound fair

Cheers

Sounds fair. I have thought about doing something similar with mine. Drop it to a 3" with new style superior arms, long arm kit and revised shocks and shock mountings. If I do it all right i could get nearly twice the flex I see now.

thats similar to what I am doing, Gen 2 superflex, King smoothies and sticking with flexy coils but with a different spring rate.

we can be team flex monster.

If you have not seen bens ute in action, i can honestly say the gear he is selling performs very very well.

So Ben, if someone has a standard GQ ute, and buys your stuff, what else do they need to make it work (brake lines etc), and will it fit a wagon ?

And just which one of your 10 cars (or howevermany you own now) are you talking about ? (lol) and can you come fit the same set-up to my car when you are done ? :clapping:

yes you will need brake lines. I got some "goodrich" braided lines made up (ADR approved) from the local brake joint.
you will need to flip you tail shaft.
You will need to at the very least get after market rear control arms or long arms to get the most out of it.
lowering your bump stop is a must if you dont want to blow the shock.

I dont see why it wont fit a wagon.

Bwah hahahahahahahaaaaaa

Listen to the salesman supporting his potential client!!!! LMFAO!!!

Firstly, when have you ever known me to succumb to 'peer pressure'???

Secondly, I always stated I was going to do it - hesitant maybe, but commitment never waived.

Lastly, I was the one who strongly suggested to others such as Chris and AB not to do it because I thought they'd get panel damage on the sills where my sliders hit (in agreeable with their decision not to anyway). The voice of reason and practicality I would suggest (even though I use it to my favour now!! lol).

You kids in your big trucks are funny ...

And in really, truly, honestly, 'you just have to trust me' seriousness ...

$800 is too cheap for that setup - if you keep it at that price, it's a dead set bargain! Even better, if its a QLD buyer, we can strip and refit at my joint for free ... can't get a better offer than that surely??

what do you think is a good price.

Genuinely ... more like $1300-1400 ...

$800 is a mighty deal to offer forum members, but if you end up Gumtree'ing or something, you'd be wanting well over a thousand ... hence the reason we went to so much trouble to measure up mine to see if I could use it - it's top notch equipment and sure, it's second hand, but we're talking bugger all klms really, and miles matter little to those super flex arms ...

Manar park is good camping even better if you ride bikes. Due to mechanical issues I didn't explore all the tracks but most labeled hard were easy for stock d22 navara. Mud donk I dare you to do the mud pit I tried and failed. But I'd be keen on this. Nice 5 hr drive from Brisbane and the boyne river for a swim in too.
