gtomo2:
Going for some underbody protection on my 82 rrc so it will be paddocks metel steering guard qt diff sliders and tank guard. Thanks not a problem. Now me thinking hight at the moment its standard heavy duty springs all round with no lift. But i do tow a caravan for weekends away etc. so wondering its either bite the bullet and body lift so i can get some big feet on her or i have hear that police spec springs lift it up abit without the need for too much hard work and money. only thinking of a 1 to 1.5 inch lift. as i still need to get in her when my back is playing up. so has anyone got police spec springs on there rr and does it make a differance to the hight.
Thanks

BRIGG SPRINGS, will custom make some to your spec if you want to go down that route.

The Fat Controller:
DIESEL uses POLICE SPEC spings with monro gas struts at the rear and standard britpart ones at the front(due to no money at the time).if you look in http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/The%20Fat%20Controller/gallery/welcome/0/7bf77726f78b5b96cc172d44c0bad6c0.jpg/ you will see that he sits higher than DUCK.DIESEL shod with 31x10.5x15's while DUCK wears 235/70h16's.the main idea for fitting the springs was to reduce the body role

gtomo2:
ok so me thinking as it has a heavy diesel lump in front put the rear heavy duty springs on the front and police spec on the rear. that way it should stay level. will have to look at were to get some

RichardRRC:
I'm not sure the front and rear springs are interchangeable :?:
When I put a winch and bumper on my rangie I put Bearmach BA 2104 springs on the front, they were the same height as the standard springs when placed next to one another on the floor but on the RR they give 30mm lift even with the winch etc.
I still have standard height heavy duty on the rear and empty the RR sits level front to back but when I put 4 mud tyres in their rack in the boot the tail dips (headlights point skyward :shock:  :D ) so I may try some BA 2102 to combat this.
The ride quality is very good and off road they dont seem to hinder articulation too badly but that may change when I do the rears.
Regards,
Richard.
