Outer Limits 4x4 Board

went to carrol spring on the way home today and asked about a price for some longer rear springs. What im thinking of is some springs that are 50mm longer overall (25mm each side on the ctr bolt) with a 2nd military wrap leaf. they will have the same spring rate a stock springs

price quoted was $150 + GST for a set of 2.

should work well with longer shackles and with front pin moved forward 25mm it will leave diff in factory position.

price will be cheaper if we get more made while he has jig setup.


any one ????

Yeah i might be keen mate, give me an excuse to chuck the rears i have now in the front....

Price is good, I recently paid $190 just for a pair of mains although mine were 3 inch lift as well. Were you looking at standard hieght or raised ?? At any rate shipping to Perth would kill the price

if they are 2in raised I am interested.....

most likely be 2in raised. would need at least 10 pairs made to get any discount.

X 2

I might be in, how many leaves in the pack or is it simply mains and seconds and we add the rest of the pack?

From what you describe are they like the "bonz" springs? Would they frieght them? All up cost would be good. As others said thats cheaper than what Ive been quoted before.

Yeah that $150 for a pair doesnt sound quite right to me... very cheap

Even if it was just for the main leaf, but then youd have to already have some 2" lifted packs just to use the 2nd, 3rd & 4th to get your lift out of it...

Mayne Springs in Brisbane made up some custom springs for my camper for $40 per spring

what would need to be done to fit them?? just a matter of re-drilling a hole?? i pick two inch extended shackles up this weekend so this might be a good oportunity to do the RUF and rears

intersted.. defently.
are maruti rears the same?

I would be VERY interested!

The same week end we wack em in at your joint we do my RUF.........

Keep me updated!

ok ill try to answer all questions.

the price would be $165 ($150 + GST) for a pair. there will only be the main leaves and the 2nd leaf with a military wrap. the rest is up to you. Depending on how hard you want it will depend on how many leaves you add.

ill be getting some in a few weeks (when i get some cash up without the missus knowing)

How you fit them is up to you. Ill be re drilling the front hanger 25mm forward and up about 10 mm and with the extended shackles it should ride and flex better.

afaik maruti springs are the same.

cool I'm in B4T...who votes spring fitting day at Jayson's place!!!!

so how is this all gonna go down? do we call the manufacturer directly and order or do we let you know and you order in one big order?

just getting expressions of intrest ATM. Once i get some secrete cash together ill order a few sets and then sell them off to those that want them. Ill contact the spring place and ask them if they will take orders and when they get 5 then they make them?? That way im not gonna get caught up in the middle.

Sounds the goods!

So if i have these in the rear and my old rears in the front should flex nicely yeah?

SOunds good with he fitting at Jason's joint...... I'll bring the turkeys.....

Add me to the list.

so ... B4T ... $165 x 10 = $1650.

Hawaii???

that price was just a quote. haven't had a chance to ring them this week as we been really busy at work (new employee didnt show up for work on his first day and we booked work for him) will ring them next week if i get a chance and ask for an exact price and might even order some.



If i get some i will be selling them to the locals first as dont get time to organise freight. they will be pick up only items and i might even do some installs for drinking money too. havent bought any Wild Turkey Lately

Hey Jayson, I am building up a LWB chassis this week and would like to move the rear shackle hangers back before I fit a motor and body.
So I need the springs ASAP.
If you could send me the details of the order and the springworks contact number, I'll ring them and arrange delivery and payment by credit card.
Cheers Jas.

just to let everyone know I wont be getting any springs for a while. I was just trying to determine if it would be worth while to get some. Moneys tight ATM so the springs will have to wait for a bit.



If you wanna get yourself some made then contact Carrol springs
