    Let me guess. Made in China ?
    There used to be a spring maker in Wallsend, Newcastle, but gone about 10 years ago. Screwed by neighbours complaints, OHS, EPA and FTAs ?

    Do a quick search on here using the forum search function
    I've listed all the King Springs part numbers and their respective height changes in a thread on here previously

    Pair of king springs can go from 900-1100 a pair, I would go to a suspension place and get a extra leaf or two resetting to yours.

    Arrhh...!!!!
    If you were in Victoria...
    I found a really helpful fella , Gordon at moorabbin springworks...
    95533446...
    His personal daily drive is a crewman, and knows exactly what/how to set them up...
    Might be worth giving him a call....

    I have used Industrial Springs at Thebarton before. If you just need a little lift a set of poly air bags might be all you need. You can get your's re-rolled with some extra arch if you want.

    From my understanding helpers are ok for loads but will create a harsh ride.

    Incorrect....I have load springs in 2 of my cars, due to spring sag on the left. Being a tightass, I put ironman load springs in the rear to level the back up and a slight lift, to even the car out and it's not a harsh ride at all

    Well FM, having made a half arsed correction, when the distance is less than 5km from Thebarton, that being Hindmarsh, how about saying the suburb, instead of your usual nit picking Vin999.

    Correct in part of your message @ I did say suburb, that being Hindmarsh
    The rest of your message doesn't make sense
