Thread: Front bar weight

Pete.
Mine sagged fairly noticeably when I put the bar on (ARB winch bar).
They tend to dive more under brakes too.
Not too bad though. Excuse to buy some nice suspension bits for it

X2 I now have king springs on the front to compensate for the extra weight

Sent from my GT-S7275Y using AULRO mobile app

i have an xrox on mine they are pretty light havn't bottomed out ,but it feels like any more weight it will though.

I've seen a few D2s crack the spot welds on the radiator support / slam panel over the years. All had steel bull bars on.

things crack when a suspension is giving up the ghost, no dampening and resulting thuds crack stuff also

thanks all
I have just replaced the front shocks, so I have taken care of your help Roverlord

I think its a tossup whether I could find/buy/order a new set of springs just to cope with that extra weight,, I certainly dont wont to just buy hard springs off the shelf!

any more advice?

This is on near new cars. LR issued a bulletin advising of the problem after a few repairs went through as warranty.

I got a new bar and a 2 inch lift at the same time. Told the supplier that I was getting the bar and he matched springs to suit.

When driving I would not even know it was there.
