    Depends on the height of the raised spring
    2" raised springs give a rise of 2" over standard etc
    ie roughly 50mm over standard height

    I always thought Kings springs were to heavy - Lbs rating too high for Land Rovers. This is why I like to pick and choose from the LRA springs range.

    Just my 10c

    ditto. Mine have not sagged and are a genuine 2" or possibly more tho I still haven't measured at the bump stops.
    160 fronts & 220 rears, konis on the back & those OME fronts just have to go

    there are two parts to the equation, spring length and the lbs. you say you have 180 on the fronts but what is the length of the spring?
