    ? Defender Springs on a rangie

    G'day as luck would have it, I now own a Rangie, and still have my Old defender Springs and Shocks stored somewhere in the back of my shed,
    will these fit str8 up? or are they different ring sizes?

    Thank you

    ALL LR coil springs fit ALL coil sprung LR's

    You can play around and experiment to your heart's content. There are charts/tables available that tell you how to interpret the colour coding of the paint stripes on the original LR ones and how this relates to free lenght, guage, whether constant rate etc etc.....then you've also got the after maket ones.......have fun!

    Not quite, defender rears are larger diameter than rangie/ disco springs but fronts will interchange.

    you're lucky the rear diam. is too large, as Defender rears are too heavy (330lb/in) for the back of a Rangie, anyway.
    OE 'fender front springs are 225lb/in.
