There are a set of 50mm lift coils on TM at the moment for around $300 I think, good price, as they are near new.

yep i no where the hilux is i was in the club for a wile i had the red MU with the bars and the 33s but then got a real truck and as you no YEP my Tyres were to big for you boys is there still a 33 tyre size limit in the club

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2008 6:00 am**

Yeah, dobinson coils are very good IMO. I have run Tough Dog, OME and TJM in my Safari's, and gone back to my original Dobinsons.
Get the numbers off them and look up what rates they are to see if they suit what you want.
