Ok guys need abit of advice , I have a 420 kw xr6 turbo bf ute ...with a stock driveline and suspension set up , I’m looking at changing shocks but I’m not sure which way to go , pedders offers a few different types, but I’ve been put onto billstein by a suggested tyre shop who sounded very genuine , the billstien 2 way adjustmentable shocks are Nearly triple the price of the pedders brand at 5.5k , I’m just wondering what you guys have done to gain traction ... a coil over conversion is very costly , so I’m wondering if it’s worth it too put 4 link in, coil over conversion ? Or go with a custom leaf spring and adjustable shocks ... aim is to get 10s down the quarter , but still be able to take it sideways on track days like power cruise if possible

So boys have a ba manual Ute welded my diff a couple of weeks ago for some extra fun and I keep snapping the bolt that holds the leafs together, has anyone had this problem and found a real solution?? I’ve tried putting high tensile m8 bolts in but because the head of the bolts are so short the diff doesn’t have a comfy place to sit so the diff just slides back and forth. I’ve also tried putting a couple of nuts either sids of the leaf to stack it up a bit but I just bent and snapped them in seconds. Thanks

So iv had my FG XR6T ute for awhile and with my steel tray, tools and gear I reckon iv dropped an extra 400kg on it that I'm hauling every day. Its dropped 50mm from stock and is only 40mm off the bump stops. Because I want headroom to carry more weight I want some Heavier rated springs, then maybe quality airbags for the REALLY heavy stuff and to have fun bouncing up and down. (ill decide on that later) Airbags alone would be fine for daily use but wont cut it by them selves for anything extra. Don't quite want a 1tonn package but something beefier then the current sports pack. While I would love my Ute to be as low as possible I need the extra static weight capacity. Suspension currently feels really doughy, headlights are pointing up and mudflaps scrape going out my driveway What leaves do people here have or had experience with? Do I have to replace shocks & stuff as well? Iv got tomorrow off work so ill try calling some manufacturers. Everyone in town know how to lower a ute, but not how to predictably raise one for increased GVM. lol

Im Shopping for an fg xr6 turbo and ill need to up the suspension because it'll have a steel tray and a few hundred Kg of tools on it all the time. Also be occasionally hauling heavy scaffolding or cement whenever I need to for work. I don't know much about suspension set ups so treat me like a Dummy who wants to learn. Does the XR6 turbo come with leaf suspension or something else. I don't want to be raising it above regular height, just want extra stiffness when the loads get heavy with comfortable everyday driving.
