I am lookin at a few mods to get it all workin and it doesn't work out much more than a set of king springs and Koni shocks! again I know how good Koni's are but they cost sooo much. Lookin at a full kit and may have to do more to get it workin but stickin to the essentials for now - just hoping someone has a similar setup like Allan and can advise if it works off road without a total loss of on-road manners.

expedition shocks are a big bore shock that apparently is more suited to carrying the heavier loads and pulling trailers which is generally what happens when travelling expedition style

these shocks are more beefier than their standard and lifted shocks....

I do have a price list somewhere so if you or anyone wants to know PM me and i will pass it on.

A good option is to use a pin to eye adaptor in the bottom then you will have more options.

Thats why I changed mine. After removing the rear seats in miet it would run out of down travell on a speed bump. The traction control would cick in at Morley Shops.
