Thanks.

I wonder which will be more suitable for other brands of leaf springs (i.e. not genuine Ford or Herrods), such as King Springs, then?

Hey twr7cx,
I am sure in the near future we will get a ute with the King springs to see how the dampers perform and if we need to do any retuning, it's not an issue and easy for us to do. Our dampers are so tunable that we can cater for any different rate that Kings or any other aftermarket leafs may have and just revalve before we supply. We can easily change the adjustment range as well to suit the body control so no problem at all. Just need to get through the range of leafs available.

Cheers
