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:D
And it's down to -1 here at the mo, so might have tae put a t-shirt on;) :D
 
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:D
hope the veg oil's not frooze up:eek:

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;) :D

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:D
either i'm gettin more to the gallon:D or the fuel gauge is fecked:eek:


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.
