Just to make things clear. Most of my offroad is done on private property, farms etc in the
High Weald area. (Kent/Sussex borders). Most of it is woodland with deep gullies/streams.
Often when descending one of the gullies that are already steep enough to make your bottom
squeak, one of the front wheels will drop into a rabbit hole pitching you almost over. :woohoo:
The new springs the front do not compress as much in this situation, so the center of gravity
dose not move forward so much, lifting the back end and ending in a roll over if you are un lucky. :(

Hope that makes sense as i dont have a photo as i normally have my hands full at that point. :laugh:


I know what you mean for my job I carry alot of weight off road on a 2015 Ford Ranger and the springs are so soft every hole you hit it rocks the ute like crazy which is terrible

You could also consider Dobinsons, Terrain Tamer, Tough Dog, Iron Man, EFS ??

Where you live there are quite a few options available :)


Have emailed iron man Just waiting for a reply, a few people I've talked to don't rate the tough dog kits but I'm no expert haha

Don't know much about Tough Dog for Jimny's. But lots of Patrol have TD fitted here in Denmark. Owners seem very happy with it.

Has anyone had any experience with dobinsons springs? Have just been given the option to buy the kit pretty cheap so any advice would be great.

I don't think anyone on this forum uses Dobinsons suspension. Perhaps try auszookers.com/forum/ instead.

But generally. All mentioned brands in this topic, that make vehicle specific suspension are of good quality.
