Was told by my mechanic the other day that my beast was a fair bit lower than it should be. Have only had it for about six months, a 96 GQ TB42E and the previous owner used it to tow horse floats. They had fitted a pair of airbags in the rear but they are stuffed.
OK, so I know I need new springs and probably shocks as well, but should I go the extra and put a 2" lift set in or leave as standard?
Most of my driving is not really 4WD, but certainly on dirt roads, however I am planning on a trip next year that includes the Gibb River Road, Tanami Track, Kakadu, Mitchell Falls etc.
My rubber is virtually brand new and am not really looking at changing wheel size as that will mean six new wheels and rubber (2 spares) if I get a lift. Whatever the case I have been advised to get a pair of +200Kg springs on the rear due to what I carry, and probably some heavier ones on the front due to a steel bull bar (no winch) and full length steel roof rack.
Looking at EFS springs and shocks due to the 3Yr, 100K warranty and have read good report relating to them, but not locked into anything yet.
