    Landy sits well and pretty level. What model Kings did you use front and back?

    Would there be any issues in running standard front springs from a puma in the front of a 300tdi 110 wagon?

    I'm not sure on the ratings, but suspect they'll be in the same ball park. Dimensionally you'll be ok.

    I took my kLRR-05's out today whilst putting in some replacement airbags.

    Thought I'd check to see if they had sagged.

    After approx 4 years they are both still 410mm (free height), exactly what they are out of the factory! When on the car though they sag by 65mm

    I'm really pleased that they haven't sagged permenantly though, they've been quite heavily loaded for most of the time and the weight they have been carrying for the last 2 years, according to King Springs means I should have the KLRR-05HD in there.

    I guess you get what you pay for, I'm a happy chappy.

    It was more of a question as to whether there is much weight difference between the 300tdi engine and the puma engine. Its got a bullbar but no winch.

    From the research I did
    Standard front springs 220 lb/in (200tdi - td5)
    Kings front 225 lb/in
    Puma front - variable/progressive 155/215

    Standard rears (200tdi - td5) is 330 lb/in
    Kings rear 470 lb/in
    Puma rear - variable/progressive 270/420 lb/in

    I've put Puma ones in the back cause they had to be better than what was there.
