First question is what diameter coils and load rating (Medium/Heavy etc) do other folks have as I feel mine may be a bit stiff and I am not 100% sure on what mine is actually running.

    Today I weighed my patrol front and rear w/ about half a main tank and empty sub. Front 1480kg Rear 1460kg.
    Ok so some coil sizes for you..

    The 3.5T setup first..
    Only meassured the RHS due to time crush.
    FR 3.5T
    17 D rod, 405 long and 7 coils.

    RR 3.5t
    22 D rod, 485 long and 9 coils

    Now the new setup..
    FR 16 D rod, 405 L and only 6 coils..
    RR 19 D rod, 510 long and only 7 coils..

    So as you can see the 3.5 kits is built tough.. not for comfort!!!
    I'm probably going to loose 30kg when I change em in coil weight lol..
    Cheers
