Steve,
As in other post before TJM and ARB have very good springs for all vehicles.
I am trying a set of Cell X9 shocks, and have only had them on for about a month and have been on a couple of weekend trips so far. I am still adjusting the shocks trying to get the balance right. The shocks will need fine tuning again when the Cruiser is packed up for the Vic High Country after Easter and another setting for the Simpson in July.
The feed back I have got from owners of IFS Cruiser is that the shocks on the front are very small compared to the weight of the vehicle. The smaller the shock the smaller amount of oil and this results in shock fade. I have not spoken to any one yet that has LTR shocks on a 100 series but I think they would be the go.
I hope this has helped with your question and someone else with a after market set up on there 100 Series might be able to give there thoughts.

Running LTR's on my IFS 100 on the front and they are excellent. Certainly hold more oil than anyother shock on the market. Been to the Cape and back on them and were great.

steve, I have Old man Emu nitro shocks all round on my turbo diesel. I have done the gribb river road when it was still very rough and also the great central road when it was quite corrigated. I have poly air bags on the back and have wound the t/bars up on the front. In the manyours of rough travel had no fade at all. In fact after other 4wd's I have owned this was almost a smoothe ride.

Still running standard torsion bars but they are wound up, measuring from bottom of rim to guard I think it is 750mm. You need to allow atleast 70mm droop in the shock. I do have the OME torsion bars on order but they have not arrived yet, I will let you know how they go. The standard OME shocks did work fine on the front but as I was going to the Cape I upgraded to the LTR's, basically the performance is the same but you can go harder for longer with the LTR's.
