    Another vote for the HD springs (130 springs). I fitted the Terrafirma equivalents.

    ARB front bar, 2010 110, car now sits level. Search my threads.

    Cheers

    p.s. the issue isnt necessarily just the extra weight but the position of that weight, i.e. further out in front of the car.

    Fit the Genuine HD fronts or other uprated springs. As stated above, it is not just the static weight but also the distance in front of the axle.

    Its not always about the vehicle 'sitting level' either. If too much weight is put on a spring not designed for it, it will dive under heavy breaking as its weight carrying capability has been exceeded.

    If you spending all that money on a new Land Rover at least uprate the suspension where necessary.

    I have a ARB bullbar and winch fitted to my MY13 110,
    It was sagging approximately 50mm, I fitted a set of TF018 front springs which fixed the sag problem.
    Observing the OEM front springs they are a progressive spring type where the wound coils at the top of the spring were fully compressed.
