Coil springs @ $195 for front pair, @ $235 for rear pair, didn't ask price of shocks/struts

If you give Dobinson a call there easy to deal with and seem to know there stuff

Yes indeed a little gem:

Well finally sorted out my WK2 lift kit...Installed OME front struts with Dobinson 100kg springs to suit the UNeek bullbar and Warn winch (97kg)..Dobinson Nivomat compatible rear springs with OE Nivomat shocks..Results: ride pretty damn near to OE, Lift 40mm front and rear retaining 3.5tonne towing..NVH as quiet as....Now I'm happy..See my web site for further reasons why I went this way.

PS Overall lift with 265 BFG tyres is a bit over 50mm.....Mind you I went across the Simpson at standard height when my WK2 was 6 weeks old and only touched 2 or 3 times; thanks to the UNeek lower bash plate, all things went perfectly...I'm off to Cape Melville in October so the extra 50mm will be needed and appreciated.

Well that has been an ordeal and a half for you..
Glad to see it looks like finally a solution..I've had to have airbags fitted as we are off in 3 weeks. Keep us posted on your setup, how it works out.
Cheers Gary

Yep Gary sure has..Taken since September last year to sort this out with over 6 trips back to get the OME lift sorted..Finally gave up and replace the OME springs with Dobinsons...Right decision and now happy....No compalints really about the service from ARB and the 4x4 shop; they really tried but enough was enough, patience ran out and decided on a differnt approach ..Anyone want a set of OME 50mm front and rear 2" lift springs; front for 100kg bullbar & winch and a set of (new) constant load OME rear shocks??...PM me and you'll get them at a good price...No doubt others will be happy with them...I've kept the OME front struts..they are decidely tougher than the OE so buy another OME set and you'll have a complete lift kit.
