Def 110 Suspenion lift, how much can I go?
Porny:
--- Quote --- I thought the 110 was designed to take quite heavy loads so even HD springs might not be required.

But with the weight of the winch, the proposed roofrack and all the kit carried around HD would probably be worth while.
Is the 110" a CSW or a Plain Hardtop or pickup??
CSW has different springs to the rest of the range beacuse it is fitted with a self leveler unit (pre 2002 ish)...
CSW have softer rear spings as standard, and the rest of the range is already fitted with what is classes at the HD spring....
But a new set of HD rear springs, and a set of HD springs for the front (which are actually 90" rears) you will probably find your Landy sits quite a bit higher, and will handle better.

But surely as you said getting the centre of gravity any higher especially with the roof rack is not a good thing at all.

I meant compared to the tired springs that are fitted at the moment, Land Rover standard HD springs will result in the Land Rover sitting at the correct, factory standard ride height, and will be more resitant to compressing under load (i.e. with the weight of the winch and roof rack).
Higher than standard with planned usage and loading would not be good IMHO....
A pukka G4 110", with a winch and a roof rack, actually handles quite well (I've covered nearly 1000 miles in one)

Thanks - I had misunderstood!
