Have had the exact same set on my GU Wagon for about 6mths, mine came with the yellow ultima shocks (with blupac stickers on) LH & RH marked springs.
I can't fault it all yet, i use the car every day to drive to work, and go off road at least twice a month, have been everywhere from land cruiser park to Fraser Island, great ride and handling allround, loaded or unloaded, (big trips the car and roof basket are loaded)
The car seems to flex very well off-road over everything ive come across, i have sway bars attached so could be limiting some flex as well, no sign of sagging as of yet.
Who knows how long it will all last, but to be honest, if it lasts out the 3yr 100k w/ty on it all, ill know ive got value for money

have been watching these for awhile on ebay, can get the king springs with ultima shocks for around 600, if im not happy with the shocks im gonna get a good set and keep the others as spares. for the price i reckon they are def worth a try, will post my thoughts when i get them on and test them out..
Cheers reegz89. Let me know how you go. I priced HD king springs at standard height, they were $380 a set of 4. I've seen the Bluepac 2 inch lift kit for $500. That means I'm paying $120 extra for a set of 4 shocky's. At that price its probably worth taking a risk on them.
Hey A4B, do you know what size shocky's you got in your kit? were they 35mm or 41mm?

Pretty sure they are 35mm Gas, but part numbers are 400400 (front) 400401 (rear) if thats any help.
I have not had other shocks to compare, but so far, id be very happy to buy another set if these last 3yrs.
I fitted a set to my troll, so far have spent a week on fraser and just round town and then from sunny coast to vic, found them to be pretty good, I got the heavy duty ones and they ride well, better then the old springs for sure
