LR90 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is this for front or rear? Only they are different lengths as standard. And what rates do you want them in? They might have to be rather soft if you still want any articulation and a near stock ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Tomcat used to offer a custom spring service - not sure if they still do or not? worth a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 When i built my 90, i planned to have it lifted as high as the stars! i had some custom springs made by "Coil springs Ltd" in sheffield, but they came though a bit taller than i had planned (although i did want a big lift with them!) here compared to a 110 HD station wagon spring: They have a bit of rust on them, not much, only where they've been sat in my trailer. i think i only fitted them once and realised that they were waaay too tall, i did have the fronts but a mate of mine had those. So, i'm looking at about £30 for the pair (or offers), i've got the original invoice as well. they'll fit rangie or disco as well, same diameter!

Guest diesel_jim Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 They're rated at 285lb single rate, and stand at just over 18.5" tall...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need only two heavy duty springs for the front axle, left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 You seriously want to be 6" higher than stock on a 90?? Why? For 6" you will need to change EVERY suspension component and mounting location. Then it will be unstable as hell. You also better know a lot about suspension geometry.

puiwit Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 You seriously want to be 6" higher than stock on a 90?? Why? yes, i´m sure. in this competition truck are already +6" springs fitted. all suspension parts were changed, it works good. now are the springs of the frontaxle damaged, therefore i´m looking for new ones.
