Anyone here have any experience with them? I Land cruiser buddy of mine told me about them. I guess they are very popular in Australia with the LC crowd. THey have a US office in Miami.
So Im looking to replace my TF rear coils which are an ungodly 360lb/inch to a softer rate but still maintain my general ride height.. currently at roguhly 4" using a 1" spacer.

The Dobinson coils for the D1 are linear, and are roughly 1" taller than the TF's with a rate of 237lb/inch.

Thats more of what Im looking for. I dont carry heavy loads, I dont even have my back seats in. The truck is soley used for wheeling and light camping.
My current rear springs dont even let wheels tuck into the fender. They just pick the truck up which adds to the sketchy feeling..

The cruiser guys seem to really like them.. I havent found any feedback on them from Rover guys. at least not here in the US.

I havent gotten around to trying them yet. Im working on an onboard water system and that might change my spring choice.
