Hi guys,

I've finished the change over from standard to XR coils.

Here are the "how to" pages on my workshop thread!

Hope they are easy enough to follow!

Cheers,

Good stuff GK - you are now the live rear axle spring and shock replacement expert. Oh, and fronts. That leaves me with IRS and wagon rear suspension. I like splitting the load! Excellent write-up; I'm glad you have way more patience and a better memory than I do - I would have forgotten to take all those pictures. LOL.

I actually haven't replaced the rear shocks myself, Pedders did that earlier this year, but the springs I can lay claim to! LOL!

I'm glad the write up is clear. I'm sure the pics will help some others go for it themselves also!
