Looks ok Nick,but I would retain the rears and possibly give up a little at the rear to maintain stability.
Managed to get out and do some testing offroad to see how it all works in the real world. we still have some work to do on getting better spring rates and maybe a wider angle rear ball joint. Let a far few people have a drive so I could see how it was working.
Biggest issue was the fact the Fuel Lift pump went on the way there and we had to deal with the fact the engine kept lacking power or would srtuggle to idle after she did get some rpm (lift pump on the way though).

Yeah I will wait till the spare is in the back and then work out what length spring I need so that it doesn't need to use the relocation cones. I also have to be mind full of the fact that I will be making a bracket and bar for the back of the tray that is removable to hold Mtn Bikes and when they are not on there a roof top tent. The truck handles differently than expected off road with the chassis shortened and the tank moved to be over the rear diff.
I thought the longer and softer rear county springs would have made up some of the gap in the rear.
Once the spare is on and I have made the bracket for the roof top tent I may need to remove the coils in the back and run Airbags like a few others have done.

Hi
I would like to re-retain the springs at the rear on the top mount of my County 110. Superior engineering arms super-flex will then go in the front as well, after I swap over the front diff.
The reason is too balance the front and rears suspension. Its a bit like nicks truck in the vids all rear. Locking in one end of the spring will effectively double the rotational stiffness of the rear axle, without increasing the spring rate.
What products are out there to firmly secure the rear springs (ie not hose clamps) of a defender/county and replace the now unwanted dislocation cones?
Have people being raising the upper seat bracket to allow a longer spring as a matter of interest and what lengths rear springs are people running?
Thanks
Clive
Clive, the guys at APT fabrications make brackets to suite.
speak of flex, does anyone know of a swaybar disconnect kit for the Puma 90?
X-Eng in the UK makes on for the 110, but not the 90.
