I live downunder, land of oz our roads are bloody awful mainly cos only 8million pay tax out of 22mil inhabitance and the distances travel are incredible nothing to do 400Ks in a day trip! even pulling a 2.5 tonne van iv done 500.. Well to the point I run 18 inch using Cooper Discoverer H/T and on Bilstien shocks and its as smooth as a babies bum![28fr-32r]
I recon you could do no better and on our roads thats saying something.
 
In the end decided to go for the Terrafirmas. Mainly because nobody seems to use them (so no bad reviews) but the one person I did find seems to rate them highly and I also managed to get them for £25.00 a corner;). So thought it worth a punt. Although I think I might have got the last set of rears in the country, because I've paid for them 3 times to be emailed the next day to say out of stock til April did I want to wait or have my money back!!

As a back up I'm replacing the air springs with a set of Arnott Gen 2's at the same time just in case the shocks are shocking, then the new springs will soften the blow (ride)

I shall report back when they're all fitted and let you all know how the combination rides and fingers crossed the old girl will show her softer side once more!!
 
Nobody has mentioned OME yet (Old Man Emu). These have been recommended by Devon 4X4.

I intend to buy Arnott Gen 2s and OME shocks at the same time.

I am also trying to get a rear anti-roll bar, to make the rear end handle better and to complement the new shocks and springs.

Does anyone know where I can get an aftermarket rear arb? The aftermarket companies don't make them any more, so looking for a used one.

Thanks.

Same setup here, 18", AT2's, Arnott Gen 2, Terrafirmas, seems to work well.
