ok so for the time being we will run lux springs, as we can get about a dozen leaf packs for a slab so we have plenty to experiment with. will work out later what shocks (compression and extension wise) we will need, however what is the general consensus? i know commie wagon shocks are used but i measured the gabriel ones up at work and they only had 9" of travel :?

The commo shocks are better suited to 2inch stock zook springs

look into bluemax shocks - they're ample for my travel, which is pretty decent (and lux leaves).

I beg to differ, there's a few factory ute sierra's running around with internal roll cages in SE QLD and they fit well, the key to them is having a good cage builder to make nice tight bends that dont cramp on cabin space

dont know what the 34 JTs are like, but my 31 ETs needed tubes - mud kept getting into the bead and leaking air... I notice my ET's get a nice flat spot overnight too =) haha first few km in the morning is a nice wobble till they round out or i do over 80km/hr (rotational force/heat).

Looks like this is going to be a nice build up!
I'd hardly call it useless... You try driving one in victoria in winter with out it!

^^ cool idea - move weight more centrally though - in zuks we need more weight towards the rear for better balance - i'd have shifted it back over the rear diff.
