Blue/Red are stock 90 rears. By you height numbers, that is what you have. Sorry, but someone lied to you as that is not lifted at 10.8/11.2".......
I get around 900 to 925 lbs on each rear spring, which sounds about correct. A set of normal 2" lifted springs should work fine to get the rear up. Just leave the front as is, if that fits the stance you want.
-
And check the timing....
-
No....
You can not go buy axle weights. You need sprung weight only. Measure the spring height and the spring model and get back...

It is the credit card companies that set the rules. Automatic online store system are setup based on the card rules. Did you place an order and have your card go through?
Because of the crazy increase in spam, most companies have filter before the servers. These are generic and there is no easy way to tell what is blocked. If YOU get on one of these generic lists, it becomes nearly impossible to get emails through to any company. This might not be the problem, but you never know.
-
That is crazy heavy, IMO....
I thought I was heavy and I'm running 210. I like soft suspension.
Tell me the spring model number and the normal compressed length when parked on a flat surface. Do it for both front and rear and I will then provide a suggestion.

Phone calls that cost money??? What a silly idea. I thought that only happened when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. If he can hook up to the internet, he can call for basically nothing.
Seriously though. He has special needs for shipping and is posting from somewhere that the filters may grab onto. Normally, these days, the filtering happens outside of the company and people may not see anything. He also has a problem of a credit card with an address other than where he lives. This sets off flags and prevents most online store software from accepting the order. It is all tied into the credit card companies fraud protection.
Phoning normally solves these problems.....

Look....
You NEED to PHONE. Is suspect the spam filters kill things coming from your part of the world, seriously.....
Of course you are screwed now. Friday is over in the UK and Monday is a holiday....
-
True and there are a million other things to take into consideration as well.
-
As stated, lowered turrets make no sense as the compression travel has not been affected by the lift and you may bottom the shock out. The shock is not meant to take these loads. If you put on lowered turret, you should also add longer bump stops to prevent this.
Also, the front axle is not limited in articulation travel by the shocks. It is limited by the radius arms. Making changes to the shocks won't influence articulation travel.
-
Yes, you have a hard life living in the Turks and Caicos. We all feel so sorry for you.
-
They ship Parcelforce, IIRC, which becomes Post on my end, which is what I want.
If I were you....seeing as you have special needs, I would call.
-
John Craddock always responds and ships my parts within a day, no matter the size and I simply place orders online.
If part of your order is an Exmoor trim piece, that will be a special order and they need to wait in Exmoor, who are not especially fast...
-
For online overseas Rover parts, I've found John Craddocks to have the best customer service. Very prompt with reasonable shipping.
-
Switch is stuck or dead. They cost basically nothing....

We are very pleased to advise that due to considerable demand we are now in the process of manufacturing our own "stumpy/short bellhousing" R380, a direct replacement for the LT77 Defender gearbox. This is now well under way and hope it will be available in July. -
Then just hit a wreckers. They MUST have those....
-
Those items cost next to nothing even with shipping from the UK...
Look for AMR6676
-
Windscreen frames are completely different, so no idea.

You probably have something plugged. Pull it apart and back blow the nozzles and "one way" valve.
I used to have 2x2, but found it a little weak. I've changed to 2x1. A double on teh driver's side and single on the other. They squirt quite hard.
-
A bearing will only go if...
- It is setup wrong.
- Dirt gets in there due to a bad seal.
There is no reason to grease them regularly. My suggestion is to remove all internal seals and let the bearing run in oil while running quality seals (RTC3511). If the hub seal is bad, you will see oil leaking out BEFORE you go wading and you can replace it before the bearings are damaged.
-
Are you sure that is what it says? Can you take a picture of the stamp and of the rim. Backspacing sounds normal assuming that is what you measured.
-
The Rocky Mountain ODs have just started to be built again. If you are interested PHONE Ray Wood directly and ask.....
-
It is cheapest just to buy another box and put it in assuming yours does not have a diff lock in it. Then sell your old one.....
