Hey guys,

Looking at replacing shock absorbers as they have upwards of 140k on them by now and we are heading to Gibb River Road from Adelaide doing all the corrugations including mitchell falls and kalumburu and then coming back via the Tanami. So would rather not have to deal with busted shocks in the middle of nowhere.

I've got a 2 inch lift on an '09 GU. Running Dobinson springs with Dobinson rear shocks and lovell front shocks.

Wondering if anyone has first hand recommendations of what to replace with without spending my entire lifes savings, maybe even replace springs (necessary or not?)

Also if putting new shocks in would you bother taking a spare shock on the trip or not? Taking a camper trailer so space not too much of a problem.

Appreciate the thoughts.
