Default WH - Lovells coils & shocks
My WH has a steel bull bar & 110L 2nd fuel tank (spare wheel carrier also) & has had OME front, OME shocks & HD King Coils at rear.
Time has come for the OME stuff to be replaced.
Anyone used Lovells shocks & springs/coils/struts?
Appreciate any comments/advice on what options I should look at.
Thanks

My WH has quite a substantial bull bar, and we tow a caravan.

Rear HD King springs and USA Monroe load bearing shocks
Front HD King springs and USA Monroe struts.
The jeep sits pretty level when towing and loaded up to max see picture. Jeep was probably a little over at 3000kg and caravan 2800kg ball weight 320kg.

This is another option a friend of mine has installed
complete strut sets from USA

He is happy with the result and rear still has standard springs with Monroe USA load bearing shocks.....he tows a caravan heavier than mine ATM 3200

I have a set of StuCRD H/D springs (made by King Springs) if you want to give them a go. I took them out after 12 months as they were too firm for my unladen grand.

Edit:
Why don't you go the whole way, only $5k

Are the front lovells struts the adjustable height ones, if so they are the same as the dura shock ones that I am running, I'm very happy with mine.

Thanks for the offer - already have HD Kings on the rear.
Want to look at replacing the rest of the suspension - thought Lovells may be an alternative

Didn't realise that Lovells had struts that were adjustable - the ones I found (CFR-104HD) don't mention anything about being adjustable.
What's 'special' about dura struts?
Where do you get them? Cost?
What shocks are you running?
Thanks
