Well...I finally bit the bullet and did an upgrade to the Grande shocks. After a couple of weeks wait to arrive from the US and just getting the chance to fit them up on the weekend, all I can say is WOW.. these shocks are awesome.!!! 
They give a great ride on and off the road, on road they are firm but not even slightly harsh. Offroad is where they really come into their own and they are nothing short of awesome, they soak up the rough stuff and spit it out like its a speck of dust.. 8)
Few teaser pics for you.
Out with the old..
In with the new.. 8)
Rears
Still sitting on the original rear airbags but tweaked up a little for lift it's sitting at 805mm (bottom of rim to guard) and the front is now up about 20-25mm over the Kings sitting at 780mm without adjustment to factory setting at about 1/4 thread used. Overall very impressed so far, other than having the airbags jump off their seats twice now due to the extra extension. I'm considering the 2" raised airbagman upgrade kit to sort out this problem. EDIT: Thanks to Brett at the Airbagman for the PP discount, replacement 2" raised airbags are on the way and I will be fitting up Thurs with a bit of luck.
Now to get out and use it...... :twisted:
