Hey all,
I am pricing up a SJ413 build and im wondering about suspension.
I want decent on-road handling/good off-road capabilities/and good flex all in the one package. Anyone got any suggestions on what the best brands are?

Re: SJ413 Sus.
Hi Mate,
there is some really good information on the Auszookes and outerlimits forums on this subject... here is a good start http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?p=1147697
I am no expert, but went through all this recently for my SJ. my conclusions were:
- most "lift" springs don't provide much gain in flex, but OME appear to have the best on offer and EFS close 2nd. I have Ironman on my SJ and it was real Firm with average flex... I had to remove leafs to get it to flex to the bumpstops at the back
- RUF conversion seems to be the best option for flex up front if you want to put in the effort
- the front factory upper shock mounts are pretty limiting if you want longer shocks to accommodate more flex
