jameslwt Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi Having finally aquired an H14 PTO driven winch and all the bits, and having weighed the winch in it's bumper (it came in at 110kg!), I am thinking I might need uprated coils on the front? If so, what should I use? I see paddocks etc have a heavy duty 110 set (in the defender parts catalogue) - will these suffice, or do I need to look at something else to stop my front end drooping!? It's going on a 1996 110 300tdi by the way! Many thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Try OME springs, they do a front pair that will take a constant 110kg load & still let you go to max gross vehicle weight. got mine from Surrey off road @ Dunsfold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought them because I had a hydraulic 525 on the front. Your for £20 + P&P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the springs arent that much new? - the red/white stripe rangerover heavy duty springs I bought for the 90 were 8pounds each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoatBuoy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Surely the springs arent that much new? - the red/white stripe rangerover heavy duty springs I bought for the 90 were 8pounds each I thought they were just shy of £16 each at paddocks? Well i'll just tape them to my boots and hop round the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 You're right. 110 springs are really expensive at paddocks, must be why i shop at Matt Savage/Local parts place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 remember that most aftermarket springs are a heavier rate than stock, yet usually the same free height or shorter (depending on rate) Better to work out how much the front end sags with the winch/bar and get some springs the same rate but longer than stock. This keeps your ride and off road articulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
