OK price or getting ripped???

Depends what vehicle
Motsons did my Pajero with King Springs and Shocks for $1200 with a 4 wheel alignment

Why don't you check out a few other places yourself??

ARB springs to mind as one other option and given these are mostly franchises one ARB or TJM store can also quote different to another of the same brand.

TJM can't be the only company doing lifts in Brisbane??

Firstly why would you have a heavy duty spring up front yet a medium on the back?

Seeing as the rear will take most of the weight when carrying stuff or towing, wouldn't the heavier ones be better on the back?

If someone is suggesting that the polyairs will "do the extra" then they are full of !@#$.

Polyairs assist, they don't upgrade. You need the heavier springs other along with the polyairs.

I also agree with the other suggestion. Pick up the phone and ring around.

That price is OK for Bilstein shocks along with airbags, perhaps a tad on the high side. However, you could save some $$$ if you went a lower spec shock (~$400 saving) - but Bilsteins are worth it if the $$$ are in your budget.

The use of medium springs and airbags for the rear is a well proven way to go. I have used both HD springs and then medium duty with airbags before and IMHO it is a far better option.

I found with HD springs they were great when fully loaded for a big trip, but when empty and driving around the city, they rattled your fillings out!

With medium duty springs and 5 psi in the airbags, they were great for the city. When loaded up for a trip, the air pressure was put up to 20-30 psi and the whole vehicle was nice and level and all performed well.

Basically the airbags allow you to tailor your suspension to the load you have at the time. There is no way any spring on its own can be all things for all loads.

I just got a ballpark figure from TJM Maroochydore for a lift and redo of suspension for a hzj105 cruiser we are planning on buying. The total came to around $1,800 + another $300 for lift bags if they are required.

I would give them a call and get them to give you a price.

I also checked out Pedders they came up with about $1,800 including lift bags they recommended a newer tougher bag than the polyair I cannot recall the name but it is a thicker black material.

I have blown a polyair bag on my previous ute.Shop round for price quality and service.

Thats max. $1500 worth of parts and two hours to install.
So they are charging you at least $415/hr to install.

Give City Suspension at Springwood a call.

I hope it's not going to be case of takenbytjm :-)
Suggest you let your fingers do the walking and ring around for a few quotes. Plenty of suspension places around Brissie. Not saying the TJM prices is a rip-off - probably isn't considering you are including a set of polyairs which aren't exactly cheap. But I'd never go with just one quote.

More info needed as depending on vehicle, lift asked for, can have a big difference with cost. I have OME all round on my prado. Coil all round 2 inch lift, struts up front with shocks in rear. I went medium (glad I did) as when loaded its great, unloaded is boardering on too firm. Full tanks of juice normally its ok, when tanks empty I think bit too hard but hey cant have it everyway. Mine was $1500 supply and fit including wheel alignment. Are they Bilsteins or TJM's brand supposidly with Bilstein specs. OME are just Kings but supposidly set as per OME specs... Who knows ?? Have you tried a price using I think its called EFS suspension, have heard good reports on them and fairly priced. But more info on what sort of vehicle and how higher lift you have asked for will help you find out on here wether the price sounds fair or not. WHG

i think that price is on the high side. I've got a NS Pajero and i had bilstein/Lovell combo installed all around and also Polyairs in the rear. Total cost was $2K.

i'm in Perth.

I'd give the chaps at Ironman a call on 03 9532 1111.

Talk to Adam or Christian, they'll advise their interstate fitters/dealers. They offfer good quality stuff at very fair prices.

Hi mate,
I have a 2006 model Troopy, leaf rear and coil front end.

I was quoted recently $1,942 for coils, leaves and shockies from TJM.

ARB quoted me $1,816 for the same kit.

Those prices are supply only.

I looked at airbags from a couple of places,

TJM, $716

hobzees4wdshop on ebay were $485 + $47.50 freight.

Didn't get a quote from ARB.

Again, supply only.

Hope that helps,
Geoff

Have a look at this site, Suspension Stuff They are located in Brisbane.
I was looking around for suspension for an 80series that I just purchased. The owner Shane, was very helpful with what setup would suit me and at a very good price. So it may be worth you giving him a call.

Usual disclaimer, no association just a happy customer.

hey try giving the boys from bob gears truck align and mechanical they should be able to give you a quote and they do wheel alignmets on 4x4 they are at northgate.

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I think I have got it sorted!
