Springs for 2 inch lift with bullbar and winch

[mattg]

Hi all. I am about to fit my bullbar and winch and need To get some springs to give a 2 inch lift after adding the extra weight to the nose. I have some tough dogs 530s but the web site says these are only good for 35mm with a bullbar and winch.

What springs are you guys using that can handle the weight?

Cheers Matt

Tough Dog sell springs for your exact purpose. I ran tough dog 35mm lift spring and shocks on my RRC. It was a great combo. Pedders also the same lift. You need to know the min and max install of your shocks before buying lift springs.

I had dobinsons but I felt they were a bit stiff with only an xrox bar and dual battery under bonnet. They definitely gave a 2 inch lift though. I think from original spring height the difference was 75mm.

I'm running Dobinson springs on my D2a now also. I've got the plus 40-100kg springs on the front. TD5, with alloy bar with winch. I think I probably would have been better off with the plus 40kg front spring. The car would sit better, but the 2 springs are the same rate just the plus 40-100kg are longer. But before you fit them find out the install of your shocks and call Dobinson to ask if they will match first.

Dobos. Great springs. I put in stock + 20 and with TJM bullbar, lpg system, v8, heavy duty tow point etc it still came up more than the top of the stock band plus 20.

I had Dobo progressive in the rear but way to much sag with 60l of LPG plus tanks weight so swapped for dobo linear...much better.

OOps meant to say springs, not shocks. Sorry, Bob
