hj47 rear spring brand choices

Post by cruiser60series »

the two rear springs on my troopy have been reset to be higher but are now much to short in length and the drivers side is inverting all the time. Did it over a railway crossing last night.

Looking into 4 makes at the moment

TJM, tough dog, OME, EFS

I was going for TJM but they get a bad rep from this forum

OME and Tough Dog are both the same price and a shade out of my price range.

EFS is by far the cheapest from what I've found.

Only simple camping/offroading in the troopy and occasionally have the full load (11 people) in the back. No drawers and super heavy trailers.



What opinions can people offer of these 3 makes of springs?
At first I thought it was a sea anemone, upon closer inspection I realised it was a funky ball of tits from outer space.

Cheap springs sound good at first, but you could end up with the harshest ride around, that's what happened to me, make sure that the lifted springs you buy are longer than stock, I know that Dobinsons leaf springs are longer. Can't really offer much more on the other brands.

i have efs all round in mine, they seem pretty damn harsh to ride on in the rear, fronts not too bad, with allmost flex in the rear. but when loaded up sag dramatically!
