any advice on what to avoid and what are good. obviously the complete unit ones are good but way way out of the price range

Buy the best you can. I've got some cheap draper ones that do the job but start to bend when on a jeep coil. You don't want one slipping or coming off.

I have the single claw type which are ok for normal car springs but wouldnt compress the springs on my 4runner enough to be any good,also had an incident when one slipped and i was very lucky to have missed breaking all my fingers.My advice is buy the best you can when it comes to things like this otherwise you may just live to regret it mate

i have noticed the claws are getting slightly better and now with a combined double hook rather than the old single clamp and pray. was thinking of the halfords special as there is on only a walk from me.

there are others of this ilk around the £30 mark but i will have to wait for delivery

They're the ones I got when we put the lift on my old cherry, worked fine.
