AJL Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Currently on my 110 i've got OME 2" Lift Springs and Shocks all round Having recently fitted an ARB Type (TJM) heavy duty bumper and 8274 with wire cable all that weight out front has had noticeable effect on handling. Whilst the front end hasn't sagged the is noticeable wallow. What springs can i stick under the front end so there is little or no movement as before. Would HD rear Disco springs do the trick?

white90 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 a pair of OME 763 would probably do the trick, but may be too firm. Nick (tangoman)had a pr he was clearing out a while ago. Got any pics of it all fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK thanks Tony i'll post pics shortly. Didnt bother in the end with the original winch bumper plan as i'm not prepaired to 'persuade' someone to take my cash plus i've now got mega frontal protection which is better for my application ie night shooting (bumping gates open etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Oh Stephen!!

BogMonster Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think a moderator called white90 may have altered my original post In fact completely :P Fortunately there is an "edit" function though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 FWIW... on my 300Tdi 90, i've got a (BWB copy) ARB bar/winch mount with an 8274 (and steering guard), so am front end heavy too. I'm running OME 763 up front, and 762 on the back (or t'other way around.. ), but it gives a good ride and doesn't seem to wallow much (it is a rather lardy 90, as Andy M will vouch for! ) with full external cage and all the toys on board! on my 110, when i had my 8274 and camel type nudgebar (similar weight to the BRB bar) i stuck a set of 90 HD rear springs in, which was great for handling, but left the front end a little "high" (compared to the back on standard SW HD springs... had i fitted some "decent" springs on the back with a 2 or 3" lift then it would have looked "normal") I reckon you'll be OK with stock 90 rears on the front, or 90 HD rears if you have longer/stiffer rear springs to keep it looking "normal"...ish..
