I haven't seen a super flexy setup done in Aus, though the US are good for this, and the 3" Rovertym kit has a good reputation with over long shocks - these will probably work with Aus discos also if you dont have ACe.

My setup is a relatively stiff setup however as it was originally designed for touring but it still plays in the rough stuff pretty well for what it is.

There are new springs on the market which seem to be similar in rate, but provide more lift. These are from Shane at suspension stuff in QLD and from what I've seen (on a day out) the springs seem to work well.

35's are not a problem, just need the usual Rover HD upgrades.

Slunnie Shane is unable to give a spring rate for the Flexy coils. Grimace looked into it and was unable to get one as it was needed to set up a system that did carry a light load at times. ( Hint hint shane ;) FIND out the rates. :D

Hey Nottie, Shanes springs in the D2 seem to get about the same articulation as what my Lovells setup gets, but with a lighter vehicle without all of the crap that I have (I'm at 2400kg dry and empty). He also sets up with a lot more ride height.




edit: wrong weights corrected.
