Title: Suspension lifts, springs etc... Need advice Defender 110 300tdi 1995
Post by: banzia on August 03, 2018, 08:17:12 PM

Hi Folks..
Like alot of us I have collected lots of landrover parts over the years...

In particular I have a full set of what apparently are heavy duty lift springs and a set of front shocks.

I bought these seperately and cant remember what lift they apparently are... So.. My questions revolve around how I can discover what they actually are... Is there a standard spring height and what is it.
The shock absorbents are used so cant read anything on them, Can we tell by their length also....

And finally, not knowing very much about suspension lifts etc is it also necessary to fit cranked arms if the springs are fitted etc....

hope someone takes pity on me ...lol

thanks

Hi
You could try looking up Landrover spring colour codes as each spring has a different colour and that also gives you the size and position on you vehicle
I would only fit  camber correction arms if its greater than a two inch lift ,the allternative is camber correction bushes at the front .
Others may say different

Have to agree with Greig 2" will be fine as i ran that with my old 110 on standard arms the only thing you may have to watch is the front panard rod had to fit an ajustable one to sort out front axle as found stand was too short throwing out steering.
