  • King Springs??

    Hey fellas just wondering about King Springs.

    I'm looking at putting a standard set of springs in the old girl and was going to get a set of Dobinsons springs but they have no stock. Can get a set of Kings and was wondering if they are as good as there lowered springs.

    Constructive criticism welcome

    Kings and Dobinsons get the same wrap. My kings are superb.

          Kings and Dobinson are both very good quality............I use Dobbos in the front and Kings in the back of my 200........I have used Kings allround and Dobinson allround in a few vehicles I have owned and would not hesitate to do so again.........Unlike the large chicken brand I have had before they have never sagged after time.

              Going against the flow here.

              I replaced a set of Lovells in the rear with HD Kings and while great for a load when on a trip, I find there free length is too short and come loose at full articulation when off road. Raised will be different to standard and HD different again, spring rates and free height are the questions I would be asking if you use your Prado off road.

                No serious off roading for me on the odd bush track and sand for me.

                My kids love going through bush tracks and going to the beach so that is about it!

                I got front and rear for a touch under $260 so can't complain don't think i will have the vehicle long enough to warrant a second replacement but you never know

                      If they do then Maybe different specs. My chicken brand sagged too a bit earlier . Maybe we shared a batch

                            How long ago was that one Dan?, as they have been using X5K steel for a few years now which has improved quality dramatically. They also offer a lifetime warrantu against sagging.

                            Regards, Jason.

                              Thank god they changed steel too. I had lowered Kings in my old rice burner 12+ years ago and they were terrible. Harsh ride and sagged quickly.
                              I haven't heard of any suspension places give Kings a bad wrap lately though.
