You can also watch out on Facebook if you have they post all updates there quicker then web site

Wayne, how long are your current springs, I will be trying to find time on the weekend to lock the current springs to the diff/chassis to measure the difference and then weigh the truck. Also hoping to snag a 35" spare if I can find a used one nearby. At the same time so I can start to work on the correct rate and length spring to aim for.

I have progresive rate springs in the rear,and they are over 500mm in height

What about the front? I think mine are to heavy a rate and to short was considering the progressive in the front and similar in the back(but may go the airbag in the rear depending how the Rooftopper effects things).

I cant remember the free length of the front,they are Linear as I prefer the stability offered by Linear rate springs in the front in extreme offroad situations,compared to the more flexible nature of progressive rate springs of comparable rate.

I'm running some Dobinson Rangey Rears in the front, as the Dobs dedicated defender fronts have a very short free length and are much stiffer. I wanted a softer spring. The flex is currently limited by the 12" 7100's I'm running, with the springs still not coil-bound on the compressed side.
However, I think mine are still a little too stiff.

Part no. C51-015
Free Length 430mm
Rate 237lbs

I do still have to fit a front winch bar and high mount, so the extra weight may change my opinion - only time will tell!

Just FYI lovells have two spring choices that I fancy for use up front.
RRR33, 440mm free length 220lb rate
RRR6, 437mm free length 190lb rate

They are both listed as landrover rear raised spring.
I think depending on the front bias and weight of the vehicle the RRR6 will give a lift off 2 or 3 inches. The RRR33 will give roughly almost an inch more lift if put on the same vehicle.

Lovells will custom wind too, just like any decent spring manufacturer.

Very Interesting I have dobinsons in the front and there way too stiff but I have a decent bar and winch too many bloody choices

those "RRR6, 437mm free length 190lb rate" are very similar to the kings I had made for the front of my 110 ute, which if I remember correctly is about 1130kg on the weigh bridge.
