Just do everything at once or you will give yourself more trouble than it is worth and spend more $ than you really need to.
Dobinsons are OK, I think kings are much better, but I don't know if they will wind a coil that tall??
You have already cut the quarter panels off, hey? If you have, move the rear axle back 50-60mm when you do the 4-link and all your tailshaft problems will vanish. You will have to cut the coil mounts off the rear housing and roll them forward and burn them back on. Shock mounts have to go up & back a bit.. Front end is easy, either castor plates or 5-link it, you know which option is best :twisted: Move the front axle forward as well, about 30mm seems to be about all you can get before things start hitting.

I'll let you know how the 4" Dobinsons go shortly... They arrived today.

I am also going to be running the matching Dobinsons shocks, which I have heard good things about.

Kings do wind 7" springs custom for Wizard on the gold coast. As used by Big Red, can get a full kit with either Rancho or Koni (revalved truck shocks).

Dobinson are good but do sag sooner or later. A mates tourer Maverick on 3" springs lasted 2 years before he replaced the rear coils. Fronts still OK, just weight seemed to kill them.

Carlton as it turns out our trucks may end up similiar but 5 link front will have to wait awhile .....Money (bubs on the way) But i will change the rear early and i will move axle back accordingly might just move the front forward 15mm for starters shocks will definately be ranchos 9000's ....

really want to get it lifted so i can go wheelin and get used to it as is so i can really notice the difference of all the link moddin (and besides i havent even had this on the trail so there will be alot of time to get used to drivin a much bigga heavier rig... :shock:

Jk your info will be great to matey cant wait to see your truck wen its dunn :D

Ian cheers 4 the info will have to decide wat way i go :?
