Hi Gang,
I am interested in any one who has Ridepro
Suspension shocks & springs fitted to their 4WD as i am interested in fitting them to 80 series cruiser.
I don't want to start a war on which is best, I would just like feed back.
Any opinions are welcome good or bad, I don't want to get it and then find out i should have got something else.
Thanks in advance,
David

I have ridepro fitted to my 06 Patrol (2 inch lift) They seem ok. I have done the
Vic high country a few times.
Simpson Desert, Red Centre, Fraser Island etc and they have worked fine.
Cheers

I have Ridepro springs and Bilstein shocks in my 100.
Seems OK to me, haven't done any real off road touring since having it fitted though. Makes the car sit better for sure.
My Torsion bas are badged TOY051...making me think they were just another Toyota part. I found them to be exactly the same part number that Ironman
suspension use.
Seems T bar supliers are very few and just about all T bars come out of the one factory painted different colours to the suppliers specification.
That's what the bloke told me who I bought them off anyway..and he is suppose to be a guru in the
suspension field and is a user of these forums.

My brother put ridepro shocks in his gu patrol that had a 5" lift after destroying a couple of other
well known branded shocks and had no problems.
After this I put a 3" lift in my gq and used ridepro springs and shocks. Very happy with them, maybe rear springs were a bit soft when putting big loads on the back (back full of
tools and tandam and car on back) but was going to put air bags in to help, but now have other plans of updating, but will go ridepro's again.
