A few years ago there was a truck at a UK show that had a hinged front Hockey Stick (you only nee it one side). This had a bolt that went into it on the road and came out for off road use which meant the front axel had loads more travel. It was an Idea nicked from the Yanks. They use it alot on Jeeps i am lead to belive.

Seriously mate...
I'm fed up with hearing your "Scrap Iron" line....
They are no better or worse than Bearmach, BritPart, or any other company....
All of them have a version of Equip products (barwork etc..)
IF... The product was as bad as stated they would be Out of Business by now... Simple....
All they are guilty of is making parts cheaper... For the public....
And the only issue I have heard was problems with coils sagging over time....
Seems that that was common from some Oz sources too IIRC....
You come over as a bitter, bitter person...
Is your view based on your own personal USE and ownership?
Or is this a mate, of a mates, wifes, brother in law.... Story?

I may be a bit bitter personally as they don't want to know when the springs are nackered and sagging after just 2000K's of road use (and 4 rear shocks broke in that time too). And they won't do anything, but i am not the only one or the first that this has happen toQuote:

So an unsprung weight caused the coils to saged after i told him that was the tyres i had on the truck when i ordered them
But it is not just mine but seeing most of thier parts fail at event for which they are designed for . The most common is the rear radius arms (the bent ones) coming apart at the axel end due to poor welding and lack of weld
I also ran a Land Rover Club in the Uk for 10 years. This involed organiseing site days where you had to marshall and recover people from all sorts of problems. This is when i have seen personally most of the problems with their stuff. Yeah it was in off road situations but these are what these bits are sold for
Fine making stuff cheaper but i surpose you get what you pay for and this is defiantely the case here
As for Britpart and bearmach. Well Beahmach surpension was Procomp but they are now using an Aus manfacture to make their stuff.
Go to most UK forums and ask what they think and you will get the same answer. Fine for the supermarket off roader but if you want to use the truck . Their stuff is just not up to it
I would never ever drive a truck scorpion stuff along a corrigated track here. It would just not hold up to the conditions
Funny really it is a sort of grass is always greener thing. In the Uk the OME is seen as the mutts nuts and used by most of the hardcore off roaders and is seen as the best (by far) surpension for the land rover
Where as here they are not seen as anything speaical and you lot want stuff from the UK, which we all think is crap compaired to what is here in Aus :):)
