Its all horses fo courses mate...... we all have a personal preference as to what we like. As you're already aware there's a ship load of choice, all I can say is don't by cheap carp, that way you'll only need to by once for a long long time

I put a 2 inch lift in my GQ LWB Wagon, Dobinson Springs and TD Foam cell shocks and damper (not ideal for extended driving on corrugated roads, but I hardly ever do that!) and I am very happy with the way the old girl handles. I bought the kit from Suspension Stuff it was around $1200 delivered from memory, this is going back a couple of years now though.

thinking of mixing up a kit for my 2" lift. i have heard great things about the flexi coils but nothing about the shocks so i was thinking of getting the 2" flexi coils for the flex and maybe a set of 2" or 3" iron man shocks or tough dog shocks. what are peoples thoughts as i know the ironman shocks are not bad but their coils always sag and are hard.

I will put my 20 cents worth in here, when it comes to brakes,tyres and suspension you CAN NOT scrimp on the price, you get what you pay for and since all 3 are the most important for handling and safety $$ just dont come into it. I know that not all of us are blessed with mega bucks, but waiting just a few more weeks to get a safe and reliable vehicle is, as far as I am concerned the most important thing.
Get it right the first time, even if it means waiting
I am spending my children's inheritance on my 92 GQ PATROL .. and by the time they get it, it will have way to many kilometers on the clock, and it wont be worth anything

you will only get as much flex as your shocks will give you.
