Im guessing that if they make these for a ln106 then they would surely have them for a LN130 ???????????? :?:
Is there anywhere in wellington that would have them?

They are fantastic value for money... I've had great reports back from pretty much everyone thats used it. A couple of hickups along the way, but they are covered with a warranty.

I recommend fitting new shocks when you fit the springs, as the factory front shocks are too short - also get a flat-top u-bolt if you are fitting front springs as the packs are thick, and one of the drivers side u-bolts will probably end up fouling the drag link.

They are designed (H-spec springs - heavy duty) to be as close to the factory spring rate as possible, so they are pretty supple and flexy.

J-spec are for load carrying only - they don't flex bugger all.

I can generally work out good deals on packages for people that want them too.

Oh, and LN106 and LN130 are totally different - the 106 is a beam axle leafs front and rear ute, where the 130 is a coil rear IFS front Surf - but yes, Maxitrac does springs for most Hilux and Surf models...
