Got a set off my NM but I'm in Brissy. Postage might be a bitch

How are you off for shocks? Fully loaded (at GMV) my Paj was a little floaty, so I replaced the OMEs in Cairns. The new ones were only marginally better, and it eventually turned out that one of the trailing arms wasn't tight at the chassis end, so I was getting some rear steer.
The old OMEs have no leaks, still have gas pressure and only one small dent which ARB say won't affect them.
They're N64s, which are one of the stiffer options for a Paj, and should be fine with lighter springs and lower loads. In original OME boxes, 3kg per shock if you want to calculate postage. I'm thinking $100 + postage if you're interested.

You can do a body lift yourself for around $100 - $150. Do a search or check the bible. A lot of guys on here have done one.

If no one is willing to part with their old springs try a wrecker like the one in Dandenong (can't think of it's name off the top of my head but I'm sure someone will fill in the blank)
or hit a suspension joint like pedders or even ARB or TJM - I'm sure when they replace suspension setups they would be more than happy to get rid of old components.

yea i have got nissan patrol springs for the back of my truck i got em from pedders for $10 but the lift is to big (5in) so i want to try gen2/3 springs for hopefully about a 2in lift

You should be able to pick up a set of standard gq springs which will give you about 2in of lift and wind up the torsion bars.

the springs that i put in were standard, thats why i got em from pedders cause they had been replaced and they were getting thrown out
