FL2 2007 3.2 petrol 185k

Went for a trip up to southern QLD and K'gari Fraser Island, towing 1.8t of Jayco, about 6.5k. The old girl's suspension took a hammering and has now turned to mush. With no load she is wallowing like a whale. So the springs are shot as well as some shockers. My mechanic turned up this set of 4 full strut/shock assemblies on ebay. Has anyone had any experience with these? The seller seems to have a pretty good rep.

Or any thoughts on other similar assemblies?

You probably wouldn't be wrong if you thought that pulling a 1.8 tonne of Jayco is a bit of a stretch, but this is the gear I have and have no desire to change either my tow or my trailer. We have probably covered about 15k over the past two years with mostly pretty good outcomes, she handles the weight pretty comfortably. Problem is the downball weight on the Jayco is about 200kg which is right on the limit of the FL2 ball load. Pretty sure this has contributed to the deterioration in the suspension.

The trip to K'gari was eventful, got pretty seriously bogged a few times. Amazed at the generosity and ability of strangers who give their time and experience to assist. I learnt a lot, and would not tow again with the old girl on K'gari again, we were not too well informed and somewhat inexperienced! Without the trailer she handled pretty well even in deep dry sand.
