Some people don't like them but I know a couple who run them without problems.  They have a reputation for sagging, so how heavily loaded is your truck?

My 110 been running on a set of their HD ones for 3 and half years and have no complaints, truck seems to sit fairly nice still. Truck bares a heavy winch on front, my phatbutt and junk in the rear. Normal road use + light/ medium greenlaning + driving too fast daily on a lot of abusive pot holed asphalt tracks.

3.5 years ago - day of fitting springs...

The other side of the argument...

Mine were dire. I bought a full set of their HD standard height springs, within six months the right rear had gone soft causing the car to pogo alarmingly while cornering and steer unevenly. They weren't standard height either but lifted it, causing vague steering and prop UJ problems.

I'm now running new OEM standard springs all round which hopefully will last rather better. The handling is much improved!  :lol:
