Hoping for a bit of advice.
I'm about to put Dobinson's on my 09 ML (manual with one piece shaft)
I noticed you used the 100kg to GVM (Medium) rear springs.
I was thinking about going for the 350kg to GVM (Heavy Duty)
How do yours ride? Have you loaded it up yet with the boat on the back as well?
How did it handle it?
Also, did you go for the heavy duty on the front? How's that?
Would you change anything if you did it again?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Once again, great article.

i don't even know what spring i have on the back (it is Dobi)so can't help there much although i do have a steel canopy and rear /side bars for permanent weight.
i do have the harder dobi front spring and can advise that it is the way to go if you run a bar and winch (or maybe dual batt) but without the winch (i.e. steel bar only) it is probably too stiff and runs a bit high.
Martin at Dobinsons can assist and i am pretty sure Ultimate will supply matched shocks even for Dobi springs if you specifically ask for them.

Finally, you will need TALL car stands as you must jack the body up high enough to get the wheels off the ground at the rear. My car stands were put on top of ------ so they were high enough to support the body.
Cant tell you what I put the stands on cos it really was dodgy and in breach of OHS standards![]()

Didnt like it but had 2 jacks and 2 car stands so wasnt too bad![]()

if it is removed does that effect wheel alignment,camber etc?

Click on the above link, then click on the files ending in .PNG and it shows all the torque settings. Awesome post Subiman was really helpful.
