If I find my old invoice I might be able to give you the exact number.

Hi Robert,
Given you have over 200k on one set of shocks with the punishment you have put them through from what I read, it seems they are worth considering (not sure of the price in aus).
I am still doing research but looking into what may best suit my needs, mainly touring with hardcore when encountered between A and B as opposed to looking for it each weekend.
Is there a specific model number as I can't find much information on them?
Regards Iain.

Thanks Robert as I said just doing research at the moment but I will definitely give them a call I'm the near future

Finally took some 'in use' rather than posed flex shots
Dobinson 2" 'stiffer' springs, with the supplied Dobinson shocks, which are standard length despite the 2" lift
Looks pretty balanced F/R though.
I'd like to space the flares out 20mm or so, as the rears rub on full tuck.

also some in use photos of mine 2" ome soft springs ome rear springs and bilstein front's.

It would be interesting to do a before and after comparison of offroad stability of vehicles modified for increased flex. One that has balanced front to rear articulation should in theory be more stable in severe cross axle scenarios, but these type of suspensions tend to have little roll resistance so may be more inclined to tip over on a pure side slope.
I'd like to modify an old hydraulic tipping tray into a tilt platform to test side slope stability of various setups with suspension in both unrestricted and restricted mode.

when you say balanced, Im guessing you mean something with the front modded...IMO you get as much out of the front RA as possible, then get the rear to match, mabe a touch more...yes it wont be super flexy but should be a bit more predictable.
Bill, on which side of the fence are you on regarding retained or unretained springs?
Wizard
I run a One Link rear and 3 link front with unretained closer spaced springs front/rear Serg.. A coil spring has much the same rate in extension as compression. Once say a 200lbin spring extends to its free length during articulation , I don't want that same spring applying a 200lbin lifting force to the drooping wheel. There is also an offcentre see-saw action with the compressed spring being the fulcrum, which transfers some of the weight on the compressed spring over to the drooping wheel. At the limit, retained springs negate that see saw effect.
Then again, I do have a much wider wheel track that restores any stability I may have lost compared to a standard setup,so I don't mind if the body leans over a bit more on sideslopes. I may not feel quite so confident with standard width axles though so a lockable antiroll bar, engageable from the cab would be up there on my 'to do' list.
Bill.
