Blueheeler Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi 32Kev, I just replaced our leaf springs(BLUE MAX) on the 21'6 Topender(6 year old).It brought the height back up 2". I also installed a 2" lift kit into the F250 to marry up with it all. It tracks and travells 110% better than from when I purchased the Kedron. I wouldn't have springs reset as the will only sag again. I would only have new ones, maybe with an extra leaf, but that's up to the individual and what weight they are carring.I purchased all my springs from "SUSPENSION SUPPLIES AUSTRALIA" and they are in Northgate, Brisbane. 07-33703200 you can ask for NATHAN POIANI. He's a young bloke and very pleasent and helpful to deal with. They will also frieght them to you if you require them and nominate a fitter if they have a outlet near you.Regards,Blueheeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 32KEVMy saga with sagging springs is here - http://www.kedronownersgroup.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1135&view=findpost&p=4390&hl=%2Bsagging+%2Bsprings&fromsearch=1The replacement springs direct from Industrial springs in Adelaide have proved to be good so far especially this year having covered the Oodnadatta and Tanami tracks with no signs of sagging.The replacement springs did prove to be slightly stiffer as we broke a small plate and a Kedron mug on the trip.Industrial Springs make their own springs and were very helpful in providing a solution to my problems and it is interesting to note that Industrial Springs claim to be the original designers of the rocker roller suspension.Kedron were helpful and agree that Industrial Springs make very good suspensions.Opal trailers who manufacture Kedron chassis were also helpful.CheersJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
