Thread: Axle Weight of stock puma 110

A popular option is inner air bags....these give you a softer ride when empty and than you can use them to level the car when loaded.

I’m not aware of anybody doing a GVM upgrade in Australia.

If doing all springs I’d talk to Les Richmond Automotive LRA?? I think that there name. They seem to have a very good understanding of springs in land rovers.

Fitting 110HT (130 front) is a good option for up front. I’ve just done this, it will get your front back to standard and maybe a touch more.

Rears, I removed the springs 100% and have fitted air springs.

thanks mate
I spoke with airbagman folks and the airbag helper is not suited for my use case i am told

That said how do the air springs workout for you?

I am getting the rear of my truck permanently kitted out withdraw/storage bins including a third battery and it will be heavy pushing @1350 kg on the rear axle easily

The Airbag Man helpers in the rear of our 110 work great. We tow a camper.

You might find useful information about Defender springs in the Britpart catalogue. There is a section on standard height HD springs. Lifted and stan dard height springs have different ratings.

I’m puzzle that they said they are not suited.....there business revolves around correcting suspension.

Why was there suggestion?

I was in there office last week and there were two customers prepping the rig for a lap around Australia (meaning fully loaded all the time) and didn’t hear them once indicated they didn’t have a solution.

I had them in my old defer....it was fully kitted out minus cloths, food and water....add air when loaded.

Air springs is by far the best mod I have done, main reason was so we could level up.....we have a Poptop, nonneed to carry leveling ramps or need level ground.....and I reckon there has been an improvement in ride.

I have the same setup hence question. How mush for the setup and how do you control the air suspension? You able to share your setup details pls. I am heading upto qld for a 3wk 6k trip, so trying to get the suspension right.

I started a tread on my install.....don’t knowing I finished it.

Er, cannot remember what I paid, I opted for airbag man as it cone in a kit..other have sourced all there parts and saved some dollars.

Control is done by two paddle switches at the centre console. I might have to move these when I have it assessed for blue plate.
