Shocks + airbags

Pedders = Repainted Monroe's, give them a miss IMHO

If yours with IFS front, I would go with bilsteins or Ridepros

If you still have the original shocks etc on then things will get much worse from here on in.
I can recommend OME stuff. Cost me around $1200 for new springs, shocks and steering damper. All of which was badly needed. (97 80 series at 200K).
I bought OME because I only wanted to go through the exercise once. I couldnt afford to get it wrong.
I can honestly say that despite being expensive, its probably the best thing I've ever done for the vehicle. Ride and handling are now vastly superior...mind you I didnt know how bad it was !
Vehicle occasionally gets a decent dose of outback touring so it has to be right. With the OME thats one thing I dont need to worry about.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with them, except for being a very happy customer.

Give Koni & Bilstien a ring. They both have shocks available with valves to match the airbags unlike OME & Pedders. Just had my Koni's rebuilt after about 250,000 KM & they have revalved the rears to allow for the additional rebound of the Polyairs. I wouldn't touch either of the 2 you're looking at if using on a lot of corrugated roads.

HZJ105 Heavy front springs, Med rear springs, Polyairs, Koni adjustable shocks.

should've mentioned, mine's the live axle model. Not saying I do a huge amount of corrugations cos i don't get away that often and I'm a townie for about 300 days of the year. I'll do 80% blacktop. Still, I'll be running over a few bumps and it's time I had an upgrade. I'll give a Koni and Bilsteein supplier a ring tomorrow. The guys at the local 4x4 joint seem reasonably priced and do the main brands, (I'm tempted to go OME and airs) but can't help feeling the suspension specialists would have more expertise. Then again, they'll probably find a million reasons for me to spend $3000.

Steve,

I own a 2000 Troopie which had the usual flattened jap springs. I needed to fix the problem but didnt want to spend a lot of $$. So after looking around at various combos I installed 4xRancho shocks and purchased a set of Air Bellows ($700) installed them in about 5 hours. This gives me the ability to "lift" the vehicle from 0 to 125 mm depending on the load I'm carrying. Result great handling now (by comparision to before) and flexability in lift capacity.Total cost $1175.

Cheers Jeff
