Standard Height SWB GQ suspension

Post by timmay556 »

Where on earth do I find (NZ not AU via TradeMe) new suspension for my GQ that restores the standard height? The only one I can find is on Trade me which will ping me around 200 bucks for GST etc.

And? Springs and shocks tend to be high engineering field , so you have to pay to get some

You mean I have to pay to get something? No? I don't believe you!!!!!




What I'm looking for is where to purchase in New Zealand Shocks and springs to return my GQ SWB to its standard height.

you might struggle with standard height stuff, could always put in a 2'' lift, you can run your standard shocks with 2'' (if not going offroad)....i doesnt hardly make any difference if your towing if thats your concern. there are heaps of places that do springs surely someone will do std in nz?? autolign/bnt/partmaster/

might be a stupid idea, but you can get spring spacers in almost any size and are very cheep. not sure how they affect ride or towing etc. if thats what you are needing. Some guys on here might have some info on them. As a side note i have seen a GQ with 3inch spacers in LOL.
