King springs are probably the most common spring used in the industry and you will find a number of brands are rebranded King springs. Kings make a number of brands under license too.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Don't confuse having someone else re-sell their springs with making them FOR someone to that brands specification.
Just because they're made in the same factory doesn't mean that they're the same spring.

Yes that's what I said too Drew. Some are rebranded and others are made by kings under license to a specification.
Old Man Emu shocks are made by Munroe under license from ARB to ARB spec and design. You won't find a Monroe shock that is comparable to the OME though.

I just received my springs they are as follows. Kdfr-40 front, kdrs-43 rears. I am led to believe that the rears r standard lwb springs or thereof. This achieves 2inchs in a swb and maintaining a soft setup. Correct me if im wrong, as I am still new to coil springs. Previously owned a leaf sprung hilux which I managed to setup to flex quite well. Ill post some pics
