185 surf lift suggestions

[wildplumdx]

i've just got a 185 surf and was wondering how to go about lifting it.
which springs are best for the money ? i've had good experience with dobis springs in the past in cars not 4wd's but how do they stack up in 4wd scene ?

don't really want to spend anymore than 1g lifting less if poss

also i have an old ln130 that has red lift spring in there rear not sure what brand, that i could take out if there any good for the 185 ?

opinions ?

cheers guys

130s and 185s have different rear springs...

[wildplumdx]

bastards.....how about towbars ?

[wildplumdx]

just rang repco and they can do cobra springs for 375 a pair front and rear.... that seems expensive as hell

check out lovells brand, what i had in my terrano, and only 200 bucks a pair.

[badnuz]

is that a pair front and rear or a pair front OR rear?

[wildplumdx]

well mounts could allways be fabricated for it, but may not fit the shape.

With the 185 you will need an airbag compliant bullbar. Try Ironman they look good and probably the cheapest new

Also try the MCC bars, look good on a 185 but I have no idea of quality.
You can call me for all sorts of 185 info if necessary (done lots of 185 suspension and bar research):
