Suspension

Post by KKN455 »

Hey all,

Been looking around and I can't seem to find many places/people who are selling shocks/springs/coil-overs other then ToughDog, EFS and Ironman.

Not saying there's anything wrong with said brands but I am looking to try something a bit different.

Got a D-Cab 84' solid-ax-all leaf lux on 35's, front and rear bars, winches mounted front and rear, will be rigging up 2 spares on the rear bar + it will tow trailers more often then not, so I'm looking for something pretty rugged that will take the abuse of the tracks but won't have me bouncing down the motorway unloaded.

Seriously interested in Coil-shock/leaf combos but keen to have a look at anything.

Also seems to be HEAPS of choice across the ditch, if it comes down to importing from there, has anybody done it before? Was it worth it?

Come at me ORE

you should get the shocks for under a grand. Raw Nitro's for example.

especially if ya turn up at BNT on a friday afternoon with cash and a cold few.

For the leaf's last time i saw the dakker O.M.E ones for sale was 940 ish $U.S for the full set.

that was for a land cruiser though.

I'll add "full set" included bushes and new bolts
