So got a set of Bilstein rear shocks put in the ute today. Together with superpro saddle, rear shackle and front eye bushes I installed a few weeks ago, I seemed to have cured the bad axle tramp I was getting. I highly recommend the Bilsteins the car feels a lot nicer in the rear. Will be doing fronts later down the track as well

I came across a bit of tramp for the first time since lowering it the other day..from a standstill I get nothing but clutch kicked it in 2nd and there it was..guess the sway bar helps but it isnt a fix. Might piss off the standard reset leafs and get some new ones, herrod or something

Not worth getting new leafs man I reckon just do the shocks.. Such a worthwhile mod

Getting rid of the stock leafs in favor for stiffer should get rid of a majority of axle tramp wouldn't it?

As the stock being the main contact and easily flexed under a lot of toque load.

Got them from a suspension shop here on the GC. Pretty sure they were around $550 fitted for rears only. Fronts are around the same price. Pat from wholesale suspension is an advertiser here on the forums give him a bell he can give you a good price for them.
