[healy]

whats the best suspension for a gq patrol? Im after a 3" lift. Im more into mud and rocks, no beach work

plenty of info on here regarding lift kits mate and everyone one of us has their own opinion which might suit them better.............. to work out your needs you're probably better off speaking to a specialist and they will be able to help you out with what you need............ when it come to brand, there's plenty out there, I run a 2in OME lift on mine and it suits me down to the ground and for what I currently need. Dont go cheap, your better off doing a spot of saving up to get a better brand, than just plumping for the el cheepos

I used Ironman, simply because I got a good deal buying it and had head good things about it. As I have a gas tank, I went with the heavier rear springs (constant load I think they're called) so it won't sag, and I also used foam cell shocks. I'm running 35's no problems at all, it has heaps more clearance and still rides quite acceptable for a big truck with a lift in it.

Don't forget with a 3" you should probably do drop boxes, replace bushes and use a castor correction kit, and possibly an adjustable panhard bar, otherwise you'll run into vibrations and shakes. Make sure you factor at least another $500-$1000 in for bushes and parts to do the job properly.

Dobinson is my choice.

Give Shane a call at Suspension stuff

They have a good range, and I like the dobinson as well

Just bought a 2" Ironman, went the gas instead of foam though. Constant load, due to the Bar, Winch & roll cage

ok so i've decided 2" is the go as im gonna make my beast legal ironman is at the top of the list. Whats the benifit of having a shock thats 1" bigger than the springs? i noticed a few ppl do this

Just a little more travel offroad for said lift.
