Thread: OE spring selections with bar and winch

You looking to keep it at standard height Pete?
Is yours a factory Isuzu - with the extended bump stops?

Can't help with OE numbers, but I'm currently running OME761's in the front of mine, standard style bullbar and no winch. Bump stop clearance is 70mm with the standard V8 bump stops - so around factory height.
I'm happy with it for just driving around, but haven't given it a good workout offroad yet so cant comment on that. Think they will be a bit light for a winch with wire though, even more so if you were intending to run a bonnet mounted spare for touring.
I also tried some Les Richmond (White Tiger) purple springs. Gave me another 10mm height, slightly longer/softer, but worked out pretty much the same as the 761's which I already had in the shed, so ended up swapping them for some orange-yellow rears (White Tiger) and refitting the 761's.

Rijidij has posted before that he's running OME766's in the front and was pretty happy with them. He's got a winch bar with winch with wire - so they might suit you.

Also, if you haven't already seen it, this is a good reference: land rover spring specifications

If you're after a slight lift I've also got some Dobinsons +2" springs in the shed if you wanted to fit them and see what they're like. (C51-015 fronts and C51-019 rears from memory).

Yeah, the OME766's were specifically designed for the Isuzu 110, approx 50mm lift with bullbar and winch. Synthetic winch rope would be ideal just to take a little weight off, but they're still fine with wire cable.
My rear springs are King KLRR-05HD, fairly heavy duty, but the County is permanently loaded.
AFAIK OME's are made by King's also.
