Hey chaps,

The time has come to do me suspension, the airbags are fooked and two of my shocks are leaking. I've been planning on getting a set of TF shocks, looks like there are two versions though (TF118/119 and TF127/128) - would I be right in thinking that 127/128 are the +2 inch versions? I would like to go for these, but I guess I will need the longer braded brake hoses for them, and I'm also concerned about the front prop hitting the chassis crossmember at full droop without making or buying spacers. Does anyone have experience with this?

A secondary consideration is front springs, there are not as shagged but are getting on for that way. All I can find is +2" springs for medium loads. I'm thinking I'll stick with standard height for now, but I don't know which aftermarket springs I could trust. I've read that Bearmach springs sag quickly, is this true? Any good options that are trusted?

Cheers fellas,

Will.
 
I have a 2" lift kit by terrafirma. I believe it was TF230 or 229. Had 2" extra length shocks and springs. Mine are heavy duty, but i would probably go normal duty if i were to do it again. Prop doesn't hit chassis at all for me.

You will need extra length brake hoses on front if you are likely to articulate the axle. As a tip, just order a set of rear ones from dealer and bang them on the front. The rear air bags have an offroad feature where they go up 2" and hence the hoses are long enough
