how much lift did the new springs give.
what shocks do you have now.
600mm seems a lot of travel unless you have gone a 4 inch lift.
some 4by shops tell you as soon as you lift your car you must replace shocks.rubish.way i
test shocks with lift is simple.
jack up your 4by if shocks bottom out before springs fully extend then they do need extra length.
when you jack up your 4by and they do bottom out measure from bottom of rim to bottom of guard above the rim.
lower back down and undo your shocker and then measure it again and difference should be the length you need in a longer shock.
hope this is some help.
as for where to buy/what to buy options are endless.
check archives for good/bad shockslooking foward to september(landcruiser park/fraser island)
