L&S Suspension for suspension work

Try We'reAbout Engineering, they've done custom bars and trays in the past, not sure if they've changed hands yet, otherwise there are a few locals doing them themselves.

Yeah i recon !

Down south is swarming with 4x4 engineering shops.

I have already done my suspension with L & S but im looking at something a bit more extreme.

Do ARB or TJM have a decent workshop ?

Yeah most of the guys on there build the stuff themselves instead of paying some one to do it, that and those that do have the work to do it charge arms and leggs because its out of the ordinary for them and it'll rack their brains to much.... TJM and ARB is not custom... Just doesn't seem to be big enough market for it yet...?

there is a huge market for it but there is more money to be made doing just the usual service and repair to mine fleet vehicles. so far i had orders for 6 tube bars in just 2 weeks and other custom stuff. but won't be opening a business of my own now. :?

Apparently tree pushing is popular up there so the guys build their own bars so suit. Off the shelf stuff bends too easy for them. :roll:
