Lovells Suspension

[Stinky]

Just After some opinions from the guys that have lovells suspension on their nm/np pajeros. not so much about the springs but the shocks/struts. i know the the shocks haven't been out for long but at the price they are hard to go past. have also been quoted locally on kings springs/raw shocks combo for $910.00 all up, but still leaning towards the lovells. any feedback would be awesome

The ride from Lovell/Bilstein setup is far better than the standard suspension.
The ride is firm enough to stop the body roll around corners & still give a very comfortable ride. I believe that the springs are covered by a 5yr warranty.

I believe Bilstein's are top shelf in 4x4 shocks. I have done approx 16,000klm since lift installed & have performed great on & offroad.

don't have $1500-$1700 to spend on suspension. i know lovells springs are a good product, have used them b4, really wanting to know about the shocks.

Im running lovells with stock shocks. No issues here no roll around corners either very minimal if any. Quite happy with the result. Didnt see the point in replacing the shocks at the time since there was nothing wrong with them. Later on in life i will look at something better.

nah mate. used to sell ironman gear @ a shop i used to manage. needless to say we didn't sell it for long though. i see suspension stuff has bilsteins for $870 a set. i might be able to strecth the budget but every dollar i spend on the truck means less i have to spend on the camper. bilsteins are twice the price of the lovells, are they twice as good?

Not that I have a gen3 (gen2 here). But I haven't had any problems with my ironmans. Good ride on and offroad, good load carrying. I push them pretty dam hard too and nothing busted yet. I have read a few threads about Ironmans on various forums and 95% of people that have them like them!

You might wanna spend a bit more time before sticking those BFG on ya truck and have a look at All Country LXT ... ive been running them on my NL and have to say i'm V pleased with their performance on & off road and at almost half the price with almost identical tread pattern i'd be keeping the extra money to spend on your camper. After talking to my tyre 'guru' mate who runs them on all his Paj's and goes everywhere without drama he explained that the side wall structure etc has kept him moving forward while his mates running coopers n BFG's have all had flats... check em out, i dont think you'll be sorry and they sure as hell aint noisy on the road
