Yip fronts. Cost me $230 would like my money back.

Have only been used to hold the front of my safari up for the last couple of months so havent seen any driving. found some 5" Safari springs to replace them with.

Sweet as.

Dont run alloys! Get steel rims all you will do is hit a rock and bend or crack the alloys. At least when you hit a steel rim on a rock you can smack it straight, after you dent or bend and alloy its pretty much through away. You can get new steels at tonys for $65ea :wink:

Changed my mind again.....my lift springs have sagged.....still looking for a complete set of standard 80 series springs :roll: :lol:

Complete set?? 80 Rears wont fit the GQ coild hats. You will need to get some 2" Gq rears to match the 80 series fronts.

Or i can sell you some 4" GQ Rears to and those 2" OME 80 Series springs and give you that 7" of lift!! :D
Then you can fit 37's and probly end up on your roof :wink: :lol:
