Yeah your right.... I was leaning toward terrafirma anyway and I'd rather go with a mob that is concentrating on one brand or type of vehicle rather than "jack of all trades, master of none."

You need to make your own informed decision, based on your own research and determination.
Any lift will require all of those bit I listed previously.
DC shaft ? Mine was custom but a lot of members are having great results with Tom Woods Shafts. You will need one !
Really for the benefits its not that expensive, so go for it.
Sort it once..sorted it right..set and forget !
The Terrafirma bits should be pretty good, seeing as they were copied from the very good product from Gwyn Lewis ;)
Yeah Terrafirma should be run by the Chinese they way they have copied everything , not come up with anything themselves.Quote:

When you say "HD front shock towers".... Are they standard height ones, or are they taller or shorter than standard? Bearing in mind im only looking for a 2" lift here.Quote:

I heard terrafirma springs are made by dobinsons. I have a set of dobinsons standard height 225lbs front and 330lbs rears and they are very rough/harsh.As far as I know kings make OME springs so I would go with either of them which I will be doing in a few months.
I have a set of T expedition on the rear of a Tdi and for the price I am impressed. In the past I have used Bils and Dobinsons (twin set up) on the rear with 50mm, no sway bar and constant load and impressed with T shocks at 100 each.
They're huge I didn't believe they'd fit when I saw them.
I guess it's whatever gets you home. It's all relative as my other is a S1.
I know its a little off topic for the title but I just want to say, anyone looking for a driveshaft of any breed will do well to contact Tom Wood's Driveshafts in Utah. Just had one specially made for my upcoming lift job (following previous advice on this post about driveshafts) and I got it to my door for less than AUD700. My local machine shop wanted over $800 just for the double cardan joint to join into my current stock front shaft off my 110. Their total quote was over $1,400. Its a shame I couldn't go local but for half the price, its a no-brainer.;)
Cheers!
Gday Guys,
I have just fitted up ARBs new long travel kit to my Puma 110 HCPU and it is the best set-up i have had. The kit came with front and rear shocks and springs, rear shock mounts, bump stop packers and caster correction. ARB / OME defiantly are not just a 'jack of all trades' type of 'just throw it together' company. If you guys went and had a look in store at their selection charts you will see and understand that each shock and spring selection has been specifically engineered and designed to suite different loads and constant accessories. I have also done a factory tour at their facility in Kilsyth Victoria and their engineering and manufacturing department is state-of-the art to say the least. Yes i had to purchase a new double carden front shaft but i could get the rest from ARB and i know it is all top quality stuff and best of all, all Australian engineered and manufactured. No wonder they are are selling product all over the world.
