    Reset the leaves and new coils.

    Thought i would share with you guys what i just got done to the old Patrol work horse.

    Many years of hard work had the old girl on her knees!

    Spicer springs in Bayswater reset the original leaves on the rear and added new coils to the front to beef her back up to more than 50mm above original manufacturers height and load rating.

    hopefully bring her back to life a bit for more grunt towing and carrying loads.

    Have a look at the before and after shots i took on my phone, makes a huge difference.

    Enjoy!

    Looks fantastic mate.. what a difference!

    Looks like a 3" lift in the front. About the same gap mine has when I have the little wheels on it. Should improve your towing a fair bit.

    I'm sure 'she' appreciates your pampering and spoiling!
