Very similar. I looked at the machine mart one and couldn't bring myself to pay an additional 100 plus quid for some stickers. They are all from China and probably the same factory so why waste petrol money?

Also it's not rocket science to replace the jack with something a bit more manly as needed, it's not as if we are incapable of making the odd modification as need.

Not sure what the dashboard might get up to when it's loose like that though...

Having tested my springs and they've bedded in nicely, working really well on the suspension of my truck, I'm now happy to say what they were off...

They are all front springs from a Mercedes W124 230 E Saloon car

REMEMBER that they gave me 5" of lift on a heavy Jimny, they are right for my application, but may NOT be right for yours... I was planning on cutting them down to suit but as it happens they all fitted on - front and rear - with no cutting or modifications to any other suspension components - but again, that's for MY application.

After all the repairs, and then a long week in the shop due to staff holiday, I was really happy to get out for a days greenlaning on Sunday gone...

Here's the blog including all Brett's (Maverick) videos -

Enjoy!
