Time for new springs. Shake out filings when empty and drag tush with load!

How has anyone solved the problem of a heavy duty suspension for touring loads (approx 600kg) and no load the rest of the time.
I'm looking for:
2 inch lift - springs, shockers, greasable shackles

What brands can any one recomend?



97 dual cab bbar winch turbo long range tank 33inch tyres slipon camper

couple of choices

OME - which is what i have choosen as i have a canopy, draw system, long range tank and fridge in all the time, however when i go touring it is loaded plus i tow a complete campsite trailer. I am currently fitting OME 250 kg rated rear springs after a lot of searching and talking.

You could also try the rancho 9000 or the tough dogs which are fully adjustable or you could try the air bag suspension if you have the cash.

I however like ARB gear so hence the choice

It is horses for courses.

Just do what you think is best for your needs.
