Ring autoworx rockhampton and ask for Clint, he custome makes coils to the exact weight of your car down to winch or no winch. Im running a set and they work awesome with the fox's! Check my flex pics in the pic threads there's a video somewhere too!

can you list the mods you are running and how much gear you are normally carrying? just wondering if it is the fact that I don't carry much weight in the back of my JK (just a 35" mounted on the rear)

Tom - I would love to be able to trial out different shocks but I live in the Kimberley so anything I want for a JK I have to order in. Apparently everyone else who runs the fox's loves them, so I'm leaning towards the coils giving me the harsh ride. I don't expect it to be a limo, but passengers from time to time tend to comment on how firm the ride is (and most of these are ppl that know nothing about suspension)

I carry about 80kg of gear. I have a 2 door petrol. It sags about 10 to 15 mm when loaded...

Hey i know what you mean - Its hard to trial shocks in Brisbane and probably anywhere. It may be a good idea to wait for a set of second hand shock to come up, they do come up from time to time, at least you can buy and sell at the same price if you do not like them. Many of us have tried different coils and shocks, and have struggled to get it right. My advice is just trying to save you a couple bucks that all.

Right now I only have standard tyres AND I have a dbor bar and 12000lb

I know the ppm are made for extra weight front and rear bar and spotlights and winch and Rock sliders
