Suspension on 80 series

Gday
All the suspensions are good, OME are the best as far as tailering to suit your needs, with std height aswell as 2 inches raised , then there is heavy duty load carrying 200 kg or 450 kg, and your choice of hard or soft valving in the shox. Best of all, the shox are longer travel than most aftermarket shox and therefore better in the bush. Plus 2 yrs warrenty

for a 2 " lift , theres not much to worry about , some good foam cell shocks , any brand will be fine . Springs , you cant go wrong with Dobinson or Kings. I have a 4 inch lift in my cruiser and everyone went on about Ranchos ect. I opted for some good 42 mm bore foam cell shocks ( tuff dogs ) Same as gabriel ,Munro ect . I drove my mates 100 series which we fitted Ranchos . I found that even on the hardest setting in the Ranchos , mine were more stable on road . He wishes now that he listened and didn't spent $180 a shockerVenus Bay

Hi Beamer

I fitted OME to my 80 series a few months back and spec for Heavy front and med rear, in anticipation for a Bar and winch in the future. Found the Heavy front a bit less stable without the load up front. You should go for med front & back if there's no winch & bar.
It raised the truck to 1955mm at the highest point so was perfect driving into carparks generally at the 2000mm to 2200mm range. Otherwise the handling is superb on the rough stuff. Should be better with the steel bar on when I feel ready to put one on.
It's built for Oz condition. That's good enough..
