Hi

Want to replace front suspension coils/shocks and also looking at bushes.

Don't want to lift but just make ride a bit better.

99% road use.

Need some recommendations - dont need to be heavy duty just looking for better handling (might be a bit of an ask but not expecting road car manners).

Cheers

I got this quote a couple of weeks ago, you would want different spring rates if you don't want any lift but it'll give you an idea of cost for Old Man Emu kit from Taubenreuther.

I'm sure @Basil will happily give you an opinion on his front upgrade. Seems very happy with them

Yes Ralph, I got that quote from tbruk, and got +50kg coils and nitrochargers, best £600 I've spent, not so bouncy and safer to drive imo. At speed the rear of the truck leaps about a bit on highland roads so they're next. I'm not doing the leaves as someone here said they were too harsh.

1. Can I upgrade front without doing rear at same time - will truck still be level?

2. Also don't need such heavy duty on front (no winch) - are there different weight ratings?

3. Are there bushes on front that would need doing - are there kits for front only or are they full sets?

Full Walkinshaw conversion

Approx £4000

Pedders Kits would prob be cheaper than OME but don't know if anyone one here runs em
