Hi Tasdev, would be great if you could provide some further feedback, as from what i hear, they are currently sold out of the TJM golds as alot of people are having these installed and Im also waiting to have them installed. Please let us know. Cheers

I've got the Gold Edition in my 90 series and I can't fault it (a bit different than the 120 I know). I've got HD in the front with a steel bar & dual batteries and medium in the rear with the 3rd row seats removed. Prior to swapping the alloy bar for steel the front was raised by 3 inches and since adding the steel bar it dropped by about 9 or 10mm. I'll be adding a winch soon which will make it drop the full inch or a touch more back to a 2 inch lift. It rides beautifully on and off-road. I'll be doing a Cape York trip in August and will post briefly and honestly in an existing thread how the suspension performs because I'm sure others with it or others who are looking at getting it would be keen to read how it went. I've heard of many stories of height adjustable suspension leaking oil after a bit of punishment though. The TJM store I got my suspension fitted at tried to coax me towards Tiger adjustables when getting mine because they had a deal where they were the same price as Golds, but I still chose the Golds because I couldn't give a stuff about mucking around with adjustable shock absorbers and didn't want any associated problems with putting them through a Cape trip.

The medium in the rear handled a fair bit of weight over a couple of long trips both on and off-road better than expected but I'll most likely swap the medium springs out for heavy duty prior to the trip due to a 60 litre water container behind the rear seat, 2nd spare up on the roof, both tanks full of fuel being full where possible, recovery gear, 46L 12v fridge, allowing up to 100kg of other crap and loads of extra fluids in the form of juice and soft drink.

Just had TJM XGS Gold shocks and springs fitted, had to wait 3 weeks as apparently alot of people had the suspension installed after reading the great pradopoint forum. I have had heavy springs fitted to the front (I have dual batteries, sovereign bull bar and sometime down the track I will fit a winch) and medium in the rear as I already had poly airbags. The lift has increased sorry I do not have the measurements, and so far it has greatly reduced the roll and bouncing around that I was experiencing on the original suspension. Will be interesting once the vehicle is fully loaded, so time will tell.

I just installed the TJM Gold series Shocks and Robs Springs (thats a Kenyan Make). Went for super comfort springs which are a bit firmer than the standard Toyota Springs. Got a 2 inch Lift.
