Hi
Will the rear coils out of my old mans defender 200 2 door hard top fit in the front of my 98 defender traytop - i have a arb steel bar and winch and it has dropped pretty well over 200 k-his bus sat fairly high -the 98 is a farm ute and could do with a little more clearance on the front-not real worried about the ride.:)

The best deal is 2nd hand coils from the front of an 80 series landcruiser. These could lift the front about 3" but probably less since 2nd hand (taller springs uncompressed). You will need to unbolt and flip the spring seats on your front axle to suit the landcruiser coils.
