Mark Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Tonk, and anyone else who is interested, I have taken some pictures of the Lightweight flexing for you: First some on a hill: And a few on some ramps... I hope they are of some use to you! Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuko Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Quick question guys, are the bump stops in contact with the axles in the above pictures? Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Mine is about at it's limits, the bump stops were touching the axles and the axle strap in the rear was almost tight That's with a ramp in the rear N/S as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 From memory, no the bumpstops wern't in contact, but I kinda ran out of ramps... The fronts were approaching the limit of the brake pipes however! For info the setup is Rocky Mountain Springs, and Procomp shocks...

Tonk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The fronts were approaching the limit of the brake pipes however! fit extended ones or fix them to dropper brackets from the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I think Std Range Rover ones are longer and will fit, but I am waiting till I have decided what to do with brakes before I fit the extended pipes.. I also have extended shackles for the rear to fit... Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 mines already on extended shackles, u could just get stainless braided hoses made up. this is an old pic of when it was on Ti springs this is it on CP springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 While on the spring subject, here is mine up the ramp. I run standard fronts, re arched, with 7 leafs and 4 leaf paras at the rear, i will be going to 3 leaf rears as it is too stiff at the moment. Future improvements are longer shocks (running 90 rears now) and a set of home made revolvers. The front works very well, using all the travel available. Testing the revolver out, works well but i need looooong shocks for them to be effective. I will never run front paras again as i broke one set with only road use and the ride hieght was awful, i barely had 1.5" betwen the bumstop and axle while the rears where too high, making the landy look as if it was going to the drag strip.

Tonk Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 which paras did u have on the front which u broke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Early ti console, grey in colour, it seems this was common on early sets!!! Not fun driving on the bumpstop!!! I have also seen green ones broken (british springs i belive). I went back to standard springs with less leafs, easier to tune, spares are cheap and plentyful and at least there are another 6 leaves (in my setup, 10 if with 11 leafs) to break before ending on the bumpstops.
