Duck wrote:What sort of load do normally carry in the back ? Set it up for your majority type driving, so if most of the time you have nothing in the back go a comfort setup, if you normally carry 400kg then spring accordingly. The weight will include tub weight, if they aren't asking you those questions I would think about using them.

other thing is air bags, just pump em up when ya got a load on and they will do all the work, but there's pros and cons fir these too...
research a lot and talk to a suspension place to work out your options as there are plenty it really depends on what you want and what you want to spend ..

I'll have to have a look into the progressive load Springs. Have considered air bags to assist with weight but I guess I may just have to study up some more.
I like the idea of the bags and having the ability to add/drop psi to suit but obviously this comes at a cost.
What are the main pros and cons you have come across?

I want to get the front up because the only thing that stopped me at Fraser was sand building up on the bash plate.
Tempted to only do the front at the moment and keep leafs at the back but maybe change the shocks. so they all 'match'. Bloke at shop said it would save me about $500 keeping the back leafs.
Anyone heard of Outback Armour? from my research there is a lot of Amorok's with them and not read a bad review.
Also, am I being daft to keep the leafs? I don't carry weight in the back other than 65KG canopy.
Cheers,

Once I get a bit a weight in the back I expect it to settle down along with the vibration. Time will tell but for now I'm just keen to get it off road. Next item is a rear diff lock, looking at the Eaton or air locker ( MQ GLS)
