Where's all the noise comeing from?

From the springs

Nice one Wayne, would be interesting to drive a stock Defender through there as a comparison, it would be at all sorts of angles!

What specification of radius arm have you guys opted for ie 0 or 2?

My project is an Isuzu 4bd1 into 82 RRC, which is going to throw about 150kg extra onto the front. Has me wondering what I will sacrifice in soft spring by changing spring spec. The vehicles previous owner(s) has by the looks of it put a spring lift of 2" so softness may be compromised anyway. I've no standard vehicle to compare. And the boge unit may still be working! I'm not sure whether to get the 0 spec ie covers from no lift to 2" lift. While spec 2 covers 2" to 4" if I remember correctly. I suspect I should go to spec 2.

Brendan drove through it and had wheels in the air

Work your spring rates out when you have your project complete or there about.

That does not mean you can not decide on a lift or no lift now. I.e plan what you want BS gap wise and what will work with the Isuzu in the RRC and buy the arms to suit that. (lift or no lift etc)

Get springs to suit.

The other option is to get the 0 lift arms and rotate the swivels if you need to.

Trying to work out if the Custom Kings I have are sitting right before I order the Arms for the Redemption Project. What should the approx stock bumpstop clearance be front and Rear?

just fitted the front spring and they seem to look lower than I thought. Am fitting the rears when I fit all the Ashcroft axle parts on the weekend.

There's a few threads on bumpstop heights and other ways of measuring, otherwise get the alignment checked when its together to see where the castor is at. Otherwise as uninformed said, get the standard castor arms and clock the swivels if need-be. I would have gone that way but i only recently rebuilt the swivels and i wasn't in the mood to pull them apart again!
