Having considered OME, King Springs, Dobinsons, OEM and IronMan springs for my 60 ... I have found what I think may be the answer.

All the above would cost me over $1500 since they are not available in the UK so I will have to pay heavy shipping costs and import duty.

.. Then I started thinking about Parabolic springs. I used to have a set on a series 3 Land Rover I owned about 6 years ago. They were fantastic - almost as good as a coil sprung vehicle. I have found a company in Holland that manufactures Parabolic springs for all leaf sprung Land Cruisers. The cost is about $750. Maybe this has been covered before? Info is here:

It looks good. 50mm lift and improved ride and not too much $$. I should get them in about 10 days and will post photos and let you know my opinion once fitted. In the meantime, like to know if anyone has seen / tried them on a cruiser.
