    I have king springs and bilstein shocks, they are great, front KDFR- 42HHD Rear KDPR- 58LP, the fronts are the heaviest they make for a patrol, that's what they recommended, but they make the front stick up a little more than the rear which are 300kg progressive, the hd would have been enough, I just put a 15mm spacer in the rear and that levelled it up

    Just because they're made in the same factory doesn't mean that they're the same spring.

    Been trying to get that across to mates for years, a bloke has some shizzen shocks, "made in the same factory as Tough Dog" he doesn't understand they are a totally different spec, that's why they are 1/2 the price!

    I have had King springs in 2 vehicles from 2005, never had an issue with them. I would definitely be buying Kings again.

    A lot of the AORC and off road racers swear by King Springs so that should tell us something .
