I know nothing about these folks, but they say they do GVM upgrades for y61 coil wagons & in their FAQ refer doing them to pre & post registration.

Well my setup is a lovells kit, from the research I've done they have used the extra HD coils but unsure on the shocks as they have no brand on them..
Being a wagon they installed the superior tower brace kit and the rear diff was laminated (braced).
It was done by State Wide engineering in Vic but when I dropped them a line about some info on the install they were as tight as a fishes a**hole and gave nothing except the off of an engineers report for $500..
They can blow that were the sun don't shine..
As said before mines good for 3.49T but have no idea if that's max or not..

I am he, fear me
Don't go by Lovells website... give them a ring.
We have vehicles with Lovells GVM upgrades that aren't on their website like Rangers and BT50's etc
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Agreed, a call wouldn’t do any harm & might turn out to be productive. Their web site is dated 2010 & mentions nothing about retrospective upgrades.
Interesting (to me) aside - the front coil springs fitted to mine were, I believe, standard rate, but longer in order to overcome the tendency for the front end to dive under heavy braking (in conjunction with the front/rear brake bias being altered.

Thanks guys. I might look into statewide but the problem is that I have already done most of these upgrades last year without getting it certified. I didn't think it could be certified at the time.
I have 120kg constant EFS springs up front, 300kg constants at the rear, castor correction bushes, BOSS coil tower braces and I fitted a brake bias proprtioning valve bracket as well. That took a little bit of adjustment before I got it right. Too much rear brake bias for a while. It was too easy to lock the brakes when going down hill or in the wet.
I suspect statewide will want to replace it all with their own brand of similar spec. It's just too soon after installing to replace that stuff.
The other option which i have been thinking about is giving the patrol a drastic diet and getting rid of some of the gear. That would help fuel economy as well as giving the engine a bit less to move around. Drawers might be the first to go, especially since I know someone in my club that might be interested in them. I also like the idea of getting the rear cargo bay back so its easier to use the car to move stuff. Drawers really get in the way.

Yep, you're probably right. The Lovells stuff in mine replaced OME stuff , the rear springs (10 leaf) looked virtually identical but I had no choice if I wanted the upgrade. As it turned out the new Lovells shocks made quite a difference to the amount of body sway in corners which I had, until then, thought fairly normal for a large 4wd. The OME ones must've been getting a bit tired.
