    D2 suspension lift

    Hi guys, I need to sort out my suspension and I am after some advice, my 2003 d2 came with dobinsons springs and shocks on the front and has airbags with dobinsons shocks at the rear.

    The front is very hard and bouncy, I believe the existing springs are for a heavy constant load, I have a Xrox bullbar and winch at the front, any recommendations on springs, I am looking at Anarchy products as they have a great warranty and a good price.

    I am also considering changing out the rear airbags for springs, I have a draw system, fridge, second battery, tools and recovery gear in the back, any recommendations on springs, again I am looking at Anarchy products?

    Thanks

    I have 2 inch dobinsons Springs rear are 200kg progressive and front are 40kg linear and they are amazing with my Bilsteins 7100 remote res shocks, so something must not be right with yours as I have rear bar, draws etc and winch in the front

    Those with coils are wanting to install airbags.
    Airbags are better.

    Have +40mm OME front springs with Archm shocks all round and airbag +50mm spacers in the rear (love my sls) all works really well all up just over $500 you have to adjust the airbags to suit the lift but it is easy if you have a nanocom

    Nope Archm
    They are a company out of Melbourne if your on a budget best bang for buck compare them to all the rest set of front and rear cost me $300 bucks
    Good people to deal with have a lot of mates who use them and no dramas

    Just had a quick search on eBay and found these
    I was able to buy a full set but contact them and they will be able to sort you out
