What shocks did you go with and how do you like the ride? These are the 3" tapered springs?

Wow, that's great, thanks so much.
20" center hub to bottom of flare is generally stock height so that's a solid 4" of lift for a loaded 80. Hmm @baldilocks has reported simular results of about 25" with a 1" spring spacer on top of his 3.5" Tapered coils. This means consistency.
One might get the 2.5" Tapered coils if they want a truer net of a 3" lift.

In one post you say they're slinkies & another you say they are the tapered. Those are 2 different springs so which is it? Thanks.

Those are tapered springs.
They were posted in the last few pages of this thread.
Doh I missed the specs upfront. Sadly I 175/275 might not be terribly good at my weight of 3150lbs for rear axle. 275 might be ok but the 175 portion is as good as a trim packer.
Since I don't know anyone running the new 3000 series OME comp springs other than myself, I figured might as well report up some numbers since I have the back of the truck empty at the moment. Armor is BIO tube bumper w/ M8000, Chap79/DC Fabrication rear bumper w/ dual swing outs and 37" Cooper ST Maxx, Chap79 Sliders.
Front 3051, 4" lift spring. Center hub to bottom of flare measurement, 25"
Rear 3052, 4" lift HD spring. Center hub to bottom of flare measurement, 26"
I'm running this with the Fox 2.0 IFP 3-5" shocks (985-24-076/985-24-087). More info on other mods to support this amount of lift in my build thread.

@GW Nugget we still don't have any numbers on the Autocraft 50mm springs ? @NLXTACY ?

Yep... Hmm... Well can't help there.
I just have the 75mm coils.
I would like to know myself.
I know there was a few folks that did get the 50mm coils, was @nuclearlemon one of them?
Or we just could ask Mr. @AutoCraft Aus for the specs.
I'm very curious to know if the free height of the 50mm coils are as tall or at least close as the 75mm coils like the Dobinson Tapered coils are.
Hmm... Enquiring minds want to know.

Where would I find Dobinsons Tapered or Flexi coils in Australia?
No Dobinsons stockists have any reference to them only their linear coils.
Cheers

Just asked about this in your vendor thread. I should be able to convert that into something useable.
