Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all,

My brothers HJ61 is up for a spring replacement and Im after your thoughts and opinons of different spring packs

The old packs are tough dog and we wont be going down that road again..

Its used for touring (being loaded up) and some pretty narlly off road stuff.
Eventually we are looking at putting superiour engineering suspension under it, but at this stage we all just looking for an incress in ride hieght 2-3inches and pretty comfortable ride.

Thanks

daniels

ive got efs spring making it 2inches higher and ride is very good - flex isn't terrible either

but i'm definately no expert

thanks cruiser60series,

how much were the set if you dont mind me asking??
And do you know how may leafs are in thr rear packs?

Regards
daniels

just went and had a look, the rear and front both have 7 leaves but the bottom leaf on the rear was a big rigid bugger compared with the front.

As for price i don't know as i bought them on my truck.

Cool thanks for that.

I recently put ARB Dakar HD springs on my 60. With OME shocks and steering dampner , greasable shackles, - $2000. Very happy with it. Lifted the front just on 50mm, the back went up 70mm. Haven't used it on real rough stuff yet, but certainly travels well loaded up. Hope that helps.
Cheers.

Thanks Granite,
$2000 sounds good, whats the ride like??

When I had my HJ60 I put a seriers 2000 suspension under it (greasable shackles,springs shocks etc) It was a great suspension offered good flex,great ride {both loaded and empty} .Fully reccomend the 2000 and it should be in your price range

daniel get on ebay,theres a bloke on there sellin great greasy anti invert shackles much cheaper then arb,i went HD dakar springs off arb,shackles off ebay,bushes off ebay,ubolts off arb,kyb scorched 4 shocks.
prices off hand were :springs and u bolts 900,shackles 250,bushes 60,shocks 500. pretty good set up.

3"hd king springs for touring but flexs well,recently bout 8mths ago threw rancho adjustables on. King / Ranchos on 60 is good.

DanielS,
The ride has been good so far. As I said, haven't really done anything major yet, but going by performance to date, I don't think I'll be disappointed. Best thing was it lifted the 60's saggy butt off the ground. Now, if I could just get something like that for the wife.........

Thanks for the reply guys, there is some great info there I will pass on.

regards

Daniels
