Im actually tempted to just get MR to do it as sort of an insurance policy in case it does do damage. How many hours labour did they sting you approx?

Hard to know, Aaron - because I had a whole bunch of stuff done at the same time. Ring them - they'll be able to tell you, but I had 4.5 hours labour for a full service, spring fit (front and rear), fitting nugge t's snorkel kit and putting the Mulgo 90 degree back door adjusters on...so probably not much time to do the springs.Quote:

It's a good upgrade - my vehicle drives much better now, but my original springs were probably well past their best.
Why do you want to raise the front? You get better fuel economy when it's pointing downhill :bangin:
It makes it look low on self confidence!
It will just look better and I remember with the TD5 it drove much better.
I agree with them looking better with the nose lifted. I went with 40mm on the rear and 75mm on the front of my 130 which levelled it out well.. (it also helps disguise the 285's!! I cheated tho and made spacers and used STD springs as the first set of '2" lift springs' bought off Ebay were thinner and lower than the originals!! Lesson learnt there! The other point I might add is that mine still sat marginally lower to the left which is another Defender trait... so I now run two RH front springs and it sits level and true!!
130 puma and no lift the front prop is shagged :mad:
