Coil Springs (specs v build)

[Tom D]

Just to add to this, as I currently have a broken spring and I want to replace it with the +30mm versions ideally as part of the warranty repair. I have written to my dealer but have no reply as yet.

One thought I had is that I remember reading somewhere that the African spec versions were fitted with the taller spring from factory? Can anyone confirm this? They’ll presumably have a different part no. Can I ask African owners take a peek at their springs and check? That would be much appreciated.

It would be helpful if more recent owners helped to update the table in this thread, its a useful resource..

Cheers!

I got an update on this from Lynn. The springs are all the same height world wide, just different rates according to the spec.

Just checked. I am a Fieldmaster with the Rough pack, and the Electrical. No winch or Tow from factory but I have added both as well as sliders. US Petrol. I will be adding a rack and I will be towing about 3000 pounds off road.

Front Double green Circle
Rear Double Green Triangle.

This table is helpful.

I am still lost as to what to do. I measured from bottom of rim and the fender and i am 31” front and 32.5” rear. Just dropped it off for winch install which will add 70 pounds to front. I will also do a top bar at some point. When i pick it up tomorrow i can measure it again.

If i need springs can i just add some combination of lift which corrects my front sag but not really sure what to do in the rear since i want to keep the rake. My towing is only 10% of use at about 400 pounds on the hitch. I wonder if the small 1.7 lift and a metal cloak spacer in the back would be enough.

The problem with the HD spring is that even Eibach says on the website it is best to use under load.

This is an element of aftermarket addition of winch and bull bar i had not considered. Coming from Landrover world the airbags just auto adjust. Which i suppose is one answer for the rear. Airbags and some slightly beefier spring in front.

Are we ALL over thinking this?
