Ahah good point Zordo. It is unreal the prices some people charge for lift kits. I thoroughly enjoyed my refs gear which was installed by Zordo, only reason I changed was because of a changed setup.

Arb is charging more tHan that for there suspension upgrades( they don't guarantee lift so they don't call it a lift kit)

Thanks guys fr the comments. Further info. Not really chasing lift. I've told them f it happens it happens. Weighed the ute the other day and the weighbridge says the regular load above basic is 530kg, plus passengers, plus the camping load and currently another 165kg when the CT gets put on the back. So I need to do something as the standard springs are flat and when load and towing it has ducks disease.

Yes, it is Ultimate. They are just down the road and they were recommended here, so I figured I'd ask them.

What are these "greasable pins"?

They replace the long bolts in the front eye of the spring.

Is your factory suspension stuffed after 2 years or inadequate for what you use it for?

Mine is pretty average after 2 years. I don't tow (only put a tow bar on recentlyand have towed a couple of times) and only have a constant probably 100-150kg in the tray. I have an xrox bar on the front with a 12000lb winch with rope, not cable, which has been on about 12 months.

The front is fine, I have wound the torsion bars up, probably 12 months ago after I put the winch in, they had never been touched since the car was new. They haven't sagged again since then. The rear on the other hand is pretty average. The springs are almost inverted and have been for a while now. Instead of flat springs or a slight curve they are starting to kinda look like a w now, lol


In saying all that, I will put new suspension in when the funds allow because the factory stuff is pretty average

you can get a bilstein and EFS setup for $1800 from Fulcrum (supplies alot of suspension parts australia wide) that'd be what I would go for...

Hey glad your happy my 2010 dropped to the point that my 85kg would make the front bottom out if i sat on the bullbar.But i tow every day as part of work my trailer is about 800kg unladen,my caravan is about 1500 spent 8 times at nissan with body mount issues before i had the caravan now it's sagged bad i am booking in with zordo in next few weeks for a great price for a minor lift and all the goodies,

In adequate. the rear springs are flat and it sags badly with the CT on tow. I can hook it up easy enough, but unless I can did a hole to get the jockey wheel down into, it is get out the blocks and wheel jack to get it off.

My understanding is this;
Factory springs are good for 250Kg.
Weighbridge say I have 530kg extra weight added with bull bar, drawers and two tool boxes and shite. I could take some of it out as it is just there for camping, but major pita as i don't have convenient storage close by, so it stays there.

then you should get 400kg constant load springs, just don't get old man emu springs, biggest waste of money, the crap chinese steel they are made of is just not up to the task.
