Maverik Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi Folks, Need/want to replace the springs on my Camel Trophy Discovery, the thing is so flippin heavy with the role cage and the role cage roof rack. Standard spring set-up was 90 rear springs on the front and a police issue rear range rover spring with a special internal helper spring. even then they suffer a fair bit from the saggy bum... would anyone have any recommendations for springs for such a heavy laden beast? Cheers Mav Pants - wrong forum... would some nice admin care to shift it for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Do you have corner weights? If so, give Devon4x4 a ring, they can work out the poundage required and make a recommendation for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Find a local farmer with a weigh bridge . Although the ramp type are no good as the suspension would be flexed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 From what you describe, you have blue/greens and blue/yellows at the front, which are 175lb/inch and red whites at the back, 170lb/inch. That must be very wobbly! I'd say get a set of OME764 at the front (240lb/inch), or OME781 (290lb/inch) at the rear, probably OME762, which are progressive 300-340lb/inch. The OME don't sag. have a look at rovers/red90.ca/springinfo Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 So... as I'm on a bit of a time schedule, I calculated the added weight due to appendages which comes out at about 200kg with that in mind I purchased a terrafirma medium load spring and shock kit. I'll still pop in the helper springs in the rear too... maybe a bit of an educated stab in the dark... but I'll let know how I get on when it's time to fit them...
