See if they have C45-304 or C45-308 for the front. These are softer coils which would be more suitable if your vehicle is lighter then the GQ.

Dobinsons may supply C45-270 (A 4" lift coil) but they won't have them in stock in your neighbouring country. These coils are usually too soft for a GQ Patrol and may sag but if you are lighter they may work well The rear eqivalent is C45-271.
Thaanks for that :P
C45-304 and C45-308 free lenght = ?
C45-270 free lenght = ?

GQ SWB with TD42 weight is ??? in front and rear % ??
GQ SWB with RD28 weight is ??? in front and rear % ??
GQ LWB with TD42 weight is ??? in front and rear % ??
GQ LWB with RD28 weight is ??? in front and rear % ??
These are all front coils.
C45-308 480/460 9t 17mm wir 225 Lbs
C45-270V 17mm 10.75 540/520mm (This is a tapered coil. The top few turns have been ground back to thinner wire)
C45-304 17mm 9T 460/440 225pounds

Someone else can help you with vehicle weights.

I have some in my shop but I doubt your local supplier will have them but they could get them.

Yes those front coils are generally too soft for a LWB.

C45-271 19mm 10T 580/560. Too soft for a LWB in my opinion. I recommend 20mm wire but Dobinsons don't have them heavier.

C45-129 2.5” lift rear 490/470 19mm 282lbs 8T

They came in today, however this should be in a private message. This thread is about flexy coils.
