If you're referring to the coil sierra photo that Jim_Aus posted, they're not chrome shocks, they're airshocks.
Heavily inclined, inboard air shocks+no swaybar+no roll stiffness from the suspension=massive flops

Steve.


+no springs, I wonder how much testing its had.

Lol wish i had chrome shocks, so my jb arms turned up they look pretty good theyre heavier than i thought very solid construction. i price genuine rubber bushes(12) from penrith suzuki will have to rder them in $546.00 priced jb rubber ones delivered $655.00 what is everyone else running id prefer rubber and whatd you pay

Pm Bruce and get his bushes. I'm using them in my ORA arms. The rubber ones were splitting after every two or so trips. I'm not going to put his price up just incase I'm wrong, but he is MUCH! Cheaper than 5-600

The air shocks are the spring essentially.

So got mu jb front and rear arms last weekend and a full set of rubber bushes during the week. the 12 bushes turned out to all be identical chasis end bushes (65mm wide as opposed to axle end whuch shouldve been 60mm wide crush tube section) i pressed in all the bushes at work with a small 150t press not realising the axle bushes were wrong just pressed them in with even protrusion each side of the arms. jacked up the truck today and did the big swap and found out the front bushes dont fit in so ground them down to 60mm fitted all anyway. the bushes dont fouk at full flex so all good in the end. im pretty happy with the jb arms they are heaps more heavy duty than i expected and gained clearance unde the arms compared to stock. the front springs are more straight but still not perfect but its too late to change now the rear arms are slightly shorter than stock which was a suprise but they work well no fouling of the 30x9.5s

Surprising that the rear arms are shorter than stock

you could have used the bushes out of your old arms and ordered in the correct bushes instead of chopping them, if you wanted
