I have a surf that im about to give a 2" lift at the moment im leaning towards the tough dog rear coils $220 a pair and then shortly after some rancho rs5000 $130 ea or rs9000x shocks $198 ea I was wondering if anyone has any good or bad coments on these items or maybe recomend some others

Its totally unnessary to spend $220 on 2" lift coils, as with tough dogs you are only paying extra for the name, they are no better than any of the others. Plenty of other great options around much better priced.

The best way would be to simply ring all the manufacturers and record all the prices and go from there, generally all the big names have good product so it usually does come down to price, you also need to be happy with their willingness to help and provide good after sales service. most of the manufacturers will either sell direct or make you deal through an outlet closer to your
home. good luck.

Of the 9 settings on the 9000X’s I use 3 or possibly 4 of them at the most.
But it is handy being able to adjust them, I was originally just going to Fit the 5000’s but there was some problem with getting them in from the U.S they were on a 3 week back order and I got tyred of waiting so fitted the 9000’s and am glade I did.
I would recommend fitting just the 5000’s on the front and stick the 9000’s on the rear so you can adjust for when it’s empty or loaded up.
That’s what I have done and it works for me
Oh and I have had 0 problems with my RANCHO’s
Cheers.

Well so far ive saved about $75 I cann get a set of 2"raised king springs for $145 from AAA
Suspension I always like saving money I wonder what i can get the shocks for.
Also ther is a progressive rate and a constant HD spring. Im guessing that if i put the HD spring in and diddnt have a heavy load I wouldnt get full articulation is that about right
