    You are right - it will sag - lots - especially if you springs are tired. I would go OME if you can aford it, and if you cant, spend $140 on a pair of heavy duty springs for now, and start saving.

    At, I had same issues. Mine had sagged even before I got the winch on - just the ARB bar, headlight protectors and steering guard did it. When the winch went on - as you'd expect...

    Replace with a set of Tough Dog Heavy Duty coils and shocks (45mm adjustables) and same at rear but with Medium grade instead. 4WD1 may ship (www.4wd1.com) to Singapore...?

    The nice thing with the TDs is a bonus 35mm lift - just enough to improve clearance without messing up the stability. Much improved ride/handling - if a little bouncier than before!

    FWIW - The normal heavy duty springs that LR fit in this situation are the same as 90 rears.

    thanks for all the info

    do i have to change the dampers as well??

    gonna cost me a whole bunch if i have to.. was hoping the orignal LR damps could take it..

    the TD coils seems great... need to see if they have any dealers around my region... may be cheaper if i just took a flight in one of the budget airlines and grab it..
