Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What is the net effect of raised springs (2") and standard shocks? It would be a tempory messure (it is a money thing).

Not that much of an issue on the road.

If you take it offroad there will be a chance of shock failure eg snapping in half.

Perhaps you should just wait till u buy shocks? Patience is a virtue

Normally I would but have warped my rear leaf springs. Instead of a bow, they look more like a wave.

i ran standard shocks after 2" spring + extended shackles... only had 'bout 30mm travel left in em, but nuffin broke offroad. could be cos the zook is light tho, and i didn't take anything real hard til i got the new shocks

wheras I did that and busted a shock going over a speed bump 3 or 4 days after I installed the springs ..

but you should expect that when ya get air off speed bumps

maybe i got lucky then...

Thanks guys. Next question is who in Sydney (prefer southwest) have good prices and what is a good price for leafs??? Are places like Pedders ok or stick to 4X4 outlets (a mate saved over $350 going there instead of 4X4 outlet and all is fine but I don't want to find a saggy rear in a couple of months),

mate, you should check out any of the wreckers in the yellow pages and prolly save even more money!

$100 bucks at the wreckers, and you can get almost any size you want
