I’d prefer something proven, just not at $150 ea

Lovells, LRA, King, Dobinson, RTE... the list is endless

Hi there Sam,

As Scarry mentioned, Bilstiens shocks & King Springs seems to be a popular option for the defenders.

Regarding fitting them, not that difficult at all. I've done mine and a mates TD5, a Saturday morning should suffice. I'll be happy to lend a hand if you decide to do the install your self.

Cheers, Jurgens.

Thanks matey, much appreciated... I'll give it a go myself and call in the reinforcements if it gets too hard.

Just browsing King springs now...

Presume i'll be ok with the std shocks seeing as i'll just be putting it back up to stock height...?

OK, so I have to qualify that needing to cut the front springs out was on a car subject to 11 years of UK road salt.:D:D:D (300Tdi not Puma!)

Cheers,

Lou

Can someone tell me if the "standard" 130 springs are heavier duty than standard 110 springs?

With the ARB bar and winch in the front it had dropped a few inches, the progressive part of the spring was compressed.

Happy with the result, certainly driven some rough km since with decent loads.

the standard springs yellow/yellow are 150lb/inch the new springs were 225lb/inch as has already been mentioned they are L&R handed so need to get it right.
The new springs are listed as 110HDfront/130Stdfront/90 rear

My rear springs are std but now with airbags.


Martyn

You could try LRA, they have more springs than you could poke a stick at.

Coil Springs

are you saying that 90 rear's are 130 fronts? I have never really looked close enough at my suspension before as its all stock, but with a load in the back it squats a bit much for my taste, could I get a set of HD130 fronts and put them in the rear? and alternatively when my winch goes on but a set of 110 fronts in? or are the fronts in a 90 diff to the fronts in a 110?

Mine got springs and shocks today.

For those that are interested, here are the part numbers.

Front springs - KRFR-03 Kings.
Rear Springs - KLRS-05 Kings.

Front shocks. Terrafirma Pro Sport - TF131
Rear shocks. Terrafirma Pro Sport - TF132

Ride is exceptional. I suspect after a few weeks it will get better.

PM me if you want prices.

Looks like the front is higher, but its because of how its parked. Its very level.
