Rocky Road
I said that I wouldn't say a negative word this year
so have a few hours to go :ROTFL:

apparently I'm missing something here. Please feel free to let it all out after midnight tonight. :lol:

I don't want to end up getting screwed by a company if there are known issues, and by the looks of the head banging on the wall, there are.

Rocky Road is not well regarded around here ..... or anyplace that has a collective memory longer than... ooohhh so 10-15 seconds....

let's say there is a limited commitment to customer service

Also as to the original question on the thread - I can't find the photo - but one of the Aussie's changed a rear spring - by driving to the right hill - and flexing the rear end enough to pull the spring out....... no compressor/ no jack needed
(one of the reasons for longer bumpstops - is to keep the rear springs from falling out)

What is a recommended vendor for this kit then? I did find the same kit cheaper here, http://ok4wd.com/old-man-emu-jeep-liber ... nsion.html.

Sorry to have hijacked this thread so much.

I haven't heard anything bad about ok4wd and I think several folks have ordered from them

My personal preference is All-J's - they might be a little more expensive - however they support LOST (and Quinn and Heather - both know KJ's in and out - they answer questions and they're helpful)

and Marlin -http://jeepinbyal.com/
I'm not sure if he knows as much - but he stands behind his products.

and I'm pretty sure I saw a picture of OzLtd - swapping springs

but this seems to be a more common technique there
