jaco just a thought mate in regards to your coil springs.
I was wondering what makes you think your coils are tired.
has the ride height of your vehical altered or is it sagging from when you purchased the vehical?.
If not you probably only need to replace your shocks which will save you dollars.
As for raising the vehicals ride height there are a couple of things you must consider.
raising the vehical does not increase your ground clearence as your diffs are still at the same height. If you do a lot of river crossings it is an advantage but 1 or 2 inches may mean you get no water in your vehical but a big rock will stop you just the same.
A disadvantage is if you travell on any slopes side ways your centre of gravity is higher and you will be more prone to a roll over.i find that urban cowboys that never do any serious off roading love the lift kits lets face they look tough
hope i havent upset any 1 with this reply
have a good 1 brighty
