Hi Guys

I have now measured the my td5 defender to get an idea how much things have sagged.. they dont help much unless i have something to compare them against tho!

Car is unloaded completely with 1/2 tank of deisel in a 127l tank

about 50kg of stuff hanging off the front also.

Seems the front is heavily sagged which i knew but the rear seems too high?

I'll be getting new springs soon for about a 30-40mm lift... so need to know what i can expect overall from 'standard'

Front end

Hub centre to flare bottom LHS 482mm RHS 478mm
Bump stop to axle LHS 56 RHS 50

Rear

Hub centre to flare bottom LHS 531mm RHS 526mm
Bump stop to axle LHS 120 RHS 115

Thanks

Steve

Rear

Hub centre to flare bottom LHS 531mm RHS 478mm - 53 difference side to side ??? Not verified by bump stop measurements - suggest you check these measurements.

Just measured mine (not bump stops though) loaded with full camping gear plus bar but no winch on front.

Standard rear springs and LR 130 front springs (recommended HD spring), Koni shocks, no lift.

Front end

Hub centre to flare bottom LHS 520mm RHS 525mm

Rear

Hub centre to flare bottom LHS 508mm RHS 508mm
