Thread: Front springs for a 110....130's or 110HD

Ones left side the others right can't remember which way around I have these in the front of my 130 with standard length shocks ARB bar and winch

That's makes sense

Which is better.

130 Standard NRC9448
110 HD NRC9449

I have a steel bar and PTO winch to support.....I assume standard height shocks for both??

Hi could you please keep us in the loop on this one , My 110 has an ARB delux bar plus x9 winch so the front has dropped by about 25/30mm that's from new , so will probable go down a bit more with time . I would like to keep the ride the same as I quite happy with it . Jim

They are the same - one left, one right. Slight ride height change and ride like stock. Recommended.

I've had them in the front of my 110 now for about 6 months. ARB Bar and LED Spots. I am planning on getting a winch in the next couple of months which should drop the front end a mm or 2, baby number 2 is due in 6 weeks and that has slowed the mods down a little.

Hi Nate,

Did the 130 springs give noticeable extra lift or not really?

Im thinking of using 130 springs with bilstein shocks as i constantly drive around with a minimum 2.4 ton gvm and standard suspension is feeling a little tired

they did lift the front end about 10-15mm but they were installed once the bullbar and spots were already on and i had about 10-15mm of sag, so basically just back to standard height.

It's common to uprate the load carrying capacity of a 110 Puma without raising the height as excessive lift can cause issues with the front prop shaft.
This is one option...........
You can fit H/D springs to the front as mentioned above, and you can fit 130 inner helper springs to the rear.
This is suited to a Defender fitted with a bull bar etc to the front, and loaded in the back for a trip.
Retaining the standard outer rear springs means little change to ride quality, but an increased load capacity with the addition of the helper springs.
Ride height remains close to standard.



Helper springs and retainers.


Cheers, Murray

Is anyone here running the helper springs in the back of a 110?

I'm considering what to do with my suspension now. I don't want a lift as such, just to go back to where I started before I began bolting stuff on. I've pretty much settled on HD fronts but not sure about the rear. The ride is still good but its dropped about 20mm since new and another 10 or so when loaded for a trip. I'd like to get that back without sacrificing the ride.

Cheers,
Jon
