I'd go for Dobinsons myself, good price, and I have found them a LOT better than Tough Dog, OME and EFS. I will be going back to them shortly.

Dobi springs are ok prices for coils, but commonly in the NZ market only a 35mm lift...

Lovells have a good name but I've never used them... what are the MU ones priced at? The Maxitrac MU / Bighorn ones are around $380/pr...

JJ - what vehicle are you looking at springs for? Leafs or coils? Custom lift, 50mm lift or standard height? So many questions... important tho, as I've found manufacturers are good at one thing but can be no good at others... ie: I've had major problems with Dobi-branded leafs but the coils are good...

There is a guy selling 50mm lift ones on trademe...are Dobi Springs any good?

Unless they have changed recently he is assuming a 50mm lift, but according to the blurb they are not. If you talk to the NZ agents they only say they are a 35mm lift.

Dobi coils are ok - I've used them before with jobs, but most people want a 50mm lift so I stick with the Maxitracs...

Toyota Bundy. Don't want to lift it much though. As near as standard height as possible.
