I'm hooked you guys have lifted all your rigs and have suspension I can only dream about.But i have never seen them advertise over here.I have a 95'model D1update its done about 80,000 miles.Both front shocks are blown and I have a 65 litre(sorry i don't know gallons)Liquid petrolium gas tank in the back when full it weighs as much as a full tank of gasoline.so with both tanks full i have 1-2 inches of travel before bottoming out.My four wheeling covers sand dunes,river crossings,some rock crawling (not hardcore) as well as being a daily drive.

Payload: 89litrespetrol,63litreslpgas,30litreswater ,engel40litrefrige, food for a week,camping gear tent sleeping bags etc..,2 kids,2 adults,recovery gear handwinch ground anchor straps chain etc.

Result half an inch clearance blew the rear diff 3 days out(another story)

Have you contacted Old Man Emu? I would think their HD suspension would be right up your alley. OME and RoverTym are the two more prevelant spring suppliers used here.

I'm under the impresssion that there is much better off-road and aftermarket LR support in Australia then in the US.

I'm sure RoverTym would work with you on springs for your truck if you emailed/called them, though the Australian dollar will work hard against you and then their is freight. Their web site is on the resources page of this site.

Last time I was at the shop, John was sending a set of sliders to singapore or somewhere far east. Shipping is insane and you'd have to wait about 2-3weeks since he has to send it by boat, but he will send it.

Yes OME is no problem over here but I have yet to see anyone selling blocks for body lifts or mounts to move shocks.

Steve,
I run Quad Drive 4x4 Equipment, a fab shop that does body lifts for rovers, extended shock mounts etc. I am in Western Australia.
Just be aware that the Rangie Spares body lifts are not legal in Australia as they use steel spacers rather than the prescribed composite materials.
If you want any info email me at:
