You won't go too far wrong with Kings Springs.
I have always been happy with mine....
Mic
I just fitted 2 inch King Springs, Heavy duty in the front and progressive rate in the rear accompanied by 2 degree castor correction bushes and Tough Dog 45 mm Adjustable shocks and i couldnt be happier, my gu rides better than it ever did before aand the ride doesnt change when i load up the rear of the gu and hook up my camper trailer, i ordered my springs through www.suspensionstuff.com.au and told them what i used the vehicle for, originally i was going to fit double heavy duty to the rear but they suggested that the rear would be very rigid and provide a rough ride and that progressive rate springs would be the go for the rear and they were right,,,, great prices and great advice = very happy customer
Many of Patrologists are on King springs. Shop around for the best price and advise.
Very happy with my king springs. 2" lift. Made a huge difference.
Ok , have 4 King springs and new shockers for 2inch lift, started today at 10am , front first ,hmmm 3 1/2 hour later first one down, yep next one done 50 mins Sweet, rear 1 -40 mins , just need the missus to get of phone to her mother lol , just 2 pumps of the jack away lol .............. waiting :-) hopefully finished before 10 pm . ps still no beer in hand lol
I have had Kings on both my last and this 4WD's without a problem so hope you have the same experience.
Just completed the ABH and CSR without a spring problem on my or any other of the 5 vehicles we travelled with.
Shocks were a different story, they are made in the same factory as **** but are they the same spec?
I don't think so, so staying with the brand is the wisest option I reckon.
Hey macca. So what shocks do you recommend?
I sometimes wonder why we're not keen to name names. Is that just pc or us the a risk in doing that?

All Done , arms and legs are saw, but have 2 inch now .......lol
They look like crap mate!, they look better coverd in mud:cheers: go get em dirty. Good to see you fitted them yourself also.
Kast, I would not recommend any brand or model of a brand as all our needs are different.Quote:

I have ToughDogs, Ralph on the front and BigBore Adjustable on the rear. At $ 550.00 a pair they are expensive. I met a guy on the ABH in 2010 who had done 300000klm on out back adventures and swore by them.
On our recent trip a 75 series had BlueMax that are supposed to be made in the same factory as or are rebranded ToughDogs. It pogoed on any whoop-de-doos or moguls and one did fail.
Mine did not behave like those and are still working fine.
They may well be made in the same factory. You could use a comparison as the base Commodore and the SS out of a GMH factory, different specs.... that was what my previous comment was about.
Looks the goods altech, must be very happy with yourself.Quote:
