I think my current rear springs are the heaviest old man emu do. Its all 2nd hand stuff off a parts WG.

So i was looking at dobinsons web not long before you posted and noticed they do a number of springs for the WG,,,,also shocks,,,maybe their shocks would be good for your WG. I cannot find any info on the compressed and extended length,if i email them and get a reply i will post it.Are you petrol or diesel steelo25?
4.7 V8, don't know if I'll go with the Dobinson shocks as I had them on my old WJ 4.0L and they where a hard ride.
