have a chat with ARB about some Dakar springs. If yours are the original ones, they may be best of replaced and having a longer warranty. Probably worth considering if you're looking to work your car a little harder ( you want to get Mickey T's right?)

yeah, my mickey t's are on order, they fit just want a bit more clearence between them, but i needed new tyres for roadworthy issues, so i thought why not get 33's now saves money long term... cheers

body lift is cheap and easy if your happy with the ride the springs give
my 40 has 2 " body lift and im guessing 2" suspension lift and i love it

if i was changin springs in a troopy id go for 60 series rears to move the diff back get a bit better departure angle

casey, 60 series rears wouldn't move the axle back ina troopy, 45 series springs are longer than 60 springs.
