    I have Kings Springs and Bilsteins all round which works well. Got the latter from eshocks in the States - AUD610 landed including a Bilstein steering damper; locals wanted more than a grand for the same.....

    Yep, that's the plan, but did you get a 2" lift? If so are you shocks the extended ones? I have had trouble, as have others finding the extended ones on eshocks or shock warehouse etc. Seems you can only get them locally, which means a lift is going to cost me $4/500 over a standard setup with new bilsteins and coils. Can't argue with that US price, just wish we could get the extended ones! I'm wondering if they exist over there under another part number/code?

    Found this thread which covers the whole US extended Bilstein shock thing pretty well

    And sounds a bit complicated!

    Yesterday the vehicle had its first heavy workout since the lift.
    The problem I experienced was that when there was heavy going, a clunking noise came from the back end on a regular basis. I thought it may have been the diff. After reading your comment, I now suspect the cause could be the shocks topping out (at the time of the clunking I was in off road mode, meaning an extra 40mm lift on top of the 2").
    I hope I'm on the right track here.
    Cheers,

    I have 2" coils & shocks on the front & air bag spacers rear-std rear shocks got torn to shreds so i got extended ones & all is well
