4WD Direct - experiences?

Got my Bilstiens from them. No worries.

Is that for four shocks?. I hope to put the magums on this weekend if not to wet.
Cheers Pete

A bit indirect, but as a fellow Jack owner, I notice Ultima shocks on Ebay for
Jacks for about $280 delivered. Now I have recently put these on my sprayrig
Hilux & have found them to be excellent so far. Chinese..? probably, but appear
well made, larger than originals & came with all bushes. That was for 4....oldbaz.

I have dealt with him a few times, if you buy goods of him on Ebay and pay via Paypal he charges you more. And i recently did a deal with him for some lights, we agreed at $400 delivered. I got lights and he had charged me $428. What the hell so i contacted him, he reckons because i was paying by credit card i had to pay for postal insurance, and a credit card surcharge of 2%. dodgy bastard if you ask me, we agreed on a deal and he still ripped me off. His feedback on Ebay is full of complaints like that. Adding $10 after sale finished and stuff.

In seeking opinions, you haven't mentioned the type of work the shocks will be doing - seal, gravel, corrugations, rock crawling ? It matters.

I believe SuspensionStuff use Lovells for their own brand shocks. Their set for your Jackaroo is $440 inc postage. I've dealt with them for a few products previously and have been extremely happy with the service and speed of delivery. Link is here.

For another well priced option, you could try Terrain Tamer shocks. I'm currently using them in my 80 series and am happy- they are firm and control the car well. The ones for my car were around $120 each. Link here.

It will help if you give a bit more info though, like your intended application and how much stuff you carry and how frequently!

g'day Bazooka,
I rang the blokes at 4wd direct the other day after speaking to a few suspension salesmen who just tried to flog their product as the best, the bloke i spoke to at 4wd direct was happy to sell me any shock i wanted ,but he asked a lot of questions to make sure he wasn't about to sell me the wrong set up, i found them very helpful to talk to, also another bloke who helped with info was the owner of Zordos suspension near Brisbane, he has a website just called Zordos suspension ,he was helpful also.
Cheers, hope this helps.
John.
