--- Quote from: "rustprooflandyracer" ---Would it be worth leaving the 1000s on the front and putting 3000s on the rear? would it alter the handling dramatically? would you notice the difference in offroading using the 3000s instead of the 1000s?

sounds a good idea!!

however after just parting with over half K on the whole set up i think the next suspension would be the fon2far one. However as building a coiler hybrid i think il just leave mine as they are now.

However, just out of courisoity, have you knoticed that your front shocks have been dented by the axle to hub casing, as mine hav and can't think why, only put it down to the extended shackels and full articulation it has.

Trouble is you need the ES9000s for the Gon2far setup.  Had a close look at Dekes setup at the last P'boro show - the articulation is unbelievableTheir shock mount rlocation kits and revolvers are at the topof my wish list!!

The only cure for this would be to change the rears to the 3-leaf version

Depends whether you run loaded or empty most of the time

rustprooflandyracer:
Most of the time it is unloaded, however it is when loaded i get the problems, sits down to much with 750s on starting to get a rub on the wheel arch.

Also the front spring has a dent in the clip that holds the leafs together, and my rear spring has been slightly dented too, the gap between the leaves is narrower on one than the other.

I am able to upgrade to ES3000s and a polybush kit for the new shocks so looking forward to that. Which will firm up the ride and stop the wollowing!  :)

When I take off the old shocks will have a look for you

I finished putting my rock mountian paras on yesterday with ES3000 shocks i coundnt believe how high it ended up being, but part of it is coz its got extended shackles and all whats left on the things to do list is to cut out the rear boxs to get more articulation out of the back axle.
