Hi all
I am in the process cleaning up my HJ60 (1981, 5 speed, full floater, lim. slip, Eberspacher stationary heater).
Last week it had a total respray (tan, white roof, thanks Troopie!) and a custom drawer system.
Wheels and tires are changed in favour of 33x9.5x15 BFG A/T's.
Photo's will follow as soon as I find out how to place them...
I am really happy with the result so far!
Next step is to replace the sagging stock suspension, which is way to stiff. My wife is pregnant of our first and it is my only form of transporting the expanding family.
All kind of spring options were subject of debat between me and some of my more technical talented friends.
My main concern is comfort, after this a purdy lift (2 or 3 inch or so), price and some durabillity are important.
First parabolic springs from TIC were on my wish list. Apparently he is selling out and waranty could be an issue in the future.
Second option is between OME and Dobinson Springs.
Of course I am going for the full kit with chocks and greasable pins, no matter what brand. Dobinson suplies a full kit as well.
OME is expensive, but the quality is more than OK for what I found out on MUD.
Dobinson is not so common, but the quality looks OK to me and the price is much better.
Any one tried Dobinson leaves?
Comfortable enough?
Comparable with OME?
I can't wheel that brutal any more with a small baby in the back, so durabillity is not an issue (for now!)
Thanks in advance!
