Hi .
Chasing some 5 inch coils for my GU Wagon.
What brands have proven to be reliable, Maintain there lift without sagging!
I am looking for load caring not flexy travel. IE Long range fuel tank, Draws, and fully loaded in the back with a family of four on board.
Thanks.
Grant.

The new shock i have fitted are Dobbinsons, they suit my truck perfectly, valved firm to suit the heavy truck with no swaybars.
Very happy with them
There are supposed to suit the dobbinson 4-5 inch Coil??
So maybe there worth a try!!

ok from 'personal' experience and 3 years on truck mine have not sagged (have settled tho) and run no sways as gueey. So go figure happy with mine. Only thing I WOULD do is drop boxes just haven't got around to em.

Just had Drop boxes fitted.
Truck drives Fantastic!
By far the best castor correction mod around.

atm i have kings in 7" lift and am not happy with them, they are too hard compared to the snake racing ones a mate has in his 7" GQ, so i am going look at a softer coil like dobinson

Yeh all good.
Flipped the rear drive shaft around, heaps of clearance!
Jacked the front all the way up untill the shocks stroked out and the front shaft also clears.
Hope it is still ok when the 5 inch coils go in!!
Cheers
