Thank you very much!
Just did some reading on dune on other forums, he really gets rave reviews - looks like just the person.
Thanks again

4.8 is absolutely shocking. I didn't know suspension could be so bad in a car - we were in mabalingwe over the weekend, on one of the game drives with friends I was actually embarrassed by the ridiculousness, it bounces like a bouncy ball over bumps, and crashes over harsh bumps - the GnTs were flying all over the car! I can even hear the springs make a 'boiying' sound like a cartoon over bumps.
Apparently graham put in used springs in front the other day, so I need to ask him about that, the shocks are apparently some or other adjustable things, but I don't know anything else on them.
Can any one suggest someone who knows there stuff with suspention? Or alternatively suggest what I should go for to replace this current mess?
Thank you.
Cheers!
Adjust those shocks to a much stiffer setting, and take it from there.

I did a bit of research and poking around last night - theyre Rancho adjustable shocks it seems. I'll have a proper look at them this afternoon to see what setting theyre on at the moment, Im guessing probably the softest setting though.
Guess I should have done the poking around and research before throwing my toys out the cot here.
Like Peter said make your shock settings stiffer..thats the only thing that can make a vehicle bouncy if the shocks are not working or if you know of a fitment center that can test shocks , or even a roadworthy center....???
Maybe that's where you need to start with shocks , being adjustable who knows where each one is set to...Goodluck

Now there is one shop I have not been able to find............ Want to drive in and they must be able to check the viability of each individual shock, and tell me if my coils is still working as intended.
