Gold Coast D40 Suspension Experts?

[z_halen250]

Hey Guys,

First post for me, but i'm just wondering who to see for suspension work on my d40 on the Gold coast, i just want some excellent advice to buy a suspension package for my ute. I don't want to have to worry about problems with wheel alignment brake line length etc down the line.

I'm thinking about a 50mm lift, just something modest without too many drama's.

Could anyone recommend someone up there that actually works on these regulary and just doesn't order a kit out of a catolouge.

Thanks

Don't know about gold coast but this forum is a good place to start!
I got tough dog adjustables all round, sold as 45mm lift but I got 55mm, must check again to see if its bedded in and dropped at all.
I did need extended brake lines on the back though, was a bit of a surprise, not sure if this is just cos I have King Cab though.

Mate welcome to the forum.

I am pretty sure that you will need at least a wheel alignment once the suspension has changed but it will be well worth it I'm sure

yes you have to get a wheel alignment or you'll scrub your tyres out quicker then Jason can do 100 more posts....

You could also try Extreme Motorsports in Northgate, Brisbane. They do have a number of different options for the D40.
