outback suspensions coil springs

sshep, yes, on a MQ shorty many years ago, brilliant, currently, on a GU Ute, again great, best thing for a leaf sprung set up, IMHO.

sshep,

I also had the same installation done on a LWB MQ Patrol, and the ride vastly improved, as well as giving it two inches of lift.

It is still not as good as coil springs only, like the GQ or 80 Series, but vastly improves the ride for touring.

In my opinion, if the vehicle is in good condition, and you plan on keeping it for two or more years, then spend the money and do it. If your truck is a bit rough, or you plan on moving it on, save the $1200.00 and put it towards your new vehicle purchase.

If your vehicle was an MQ Patrol, think about it this way, you can pick up a Petrol GQ LWB for $6,000 - $8,000 these days, sell yours as is for, maybe, $2000 - $3000, with the $1200 still in your pocket. You wouldn't be shelling out a whole lot extra to upgrade to a whole lot nicer truck.

Hope this helps

sshep, depending on your skills??? The Qld bloke that fits them also does a bolt in one, so may be a worth a ring to him, he is in the 4x4 mags. Best of luck.

thanks john, is yours bolt on or the outback, is there any difference apart from the fixings, iam no expert but can manage most things
