Ah do go into the hills quite a lot, but nothing majorly extreme!! If anything, ah'd 'maybe' consider a softer ride set but ah've got used to these ones. They're handy for when the bus is full of wood/ coal/ people etc mainly in winter time
might be worth yer while trying a search on here
And it's down to -1 here at the mo, so might have tae put a t-shirt on

i done search but some folk say they ok an some say they ****e
but it sounds like you put a good load on your's an your havin no trouble
i think i'll give em a go an see for my self
an it,s -3 here but the glemoragie is doin its job
hope the veg oil's not frooze up

Personally ah can't see anything wrong with them, but it's all down to personal preference ah suppose, give them a try... what ye gotta lose?
All ah can say is, if the deflex ones last a while, and when it comes round to changing them, it'll be a lot easier than the originals!! Hopefully won't have to burn them out!!!
The vag oil is doin' fine nick, just runnin' 50/50 at all times

Had a set of deflex on mine the orrange ones though istead of the yellow ones!!

I found them to have improve the handling a lot better, tighter and does not wallow a lot.

My truck is on 33" and two inch lift.

cheers mate good to know that
i was gonna up the mix earlyer but filled it up monday done about 150 miles an it doesn't seam to have gone down at all
either i'm gettin more to the gallon or the fuel gauge is fecked


and thanks muddy good to hear some good feedback

what you getting out of a full tank on the veggie !!

I had a go wiv the Bio diesel, ran 3/4 bio and the rest on diesel seem to loose power in my opinion, and stank really bad and puffed out a lot of white smoke.

For some reason it started to smoke a lot and I kinda got a bit weary with it and gone back on running on diesel.
