Suspension question

<< < (2/3) > >>

Budgie:
Not 100% sure but I can't see there being too many problems with just swapping the springs over.
Best check the I/D & O/D of your springs with standards springs to be sure though.  :wink:

Xtremeteam:
is it a heavy duty outer spring with a smaller internal spring inside?
if so its easy to swap the springs to softer ones as the plates will just fall out & the diameters o the springs are all the same on the 110 rears

Budgie:
That's what I thought it would be Mikee, but not really had a good look at the H/D twin set-up on the 110's.  :wink:

Yes, it is - 'normal' sized outer spring, with a smaller diameter one inside it........so is it just a case of removing and binning both springs, and replacing the outer with something softer ? - any suggestions for spring types/ratings ?

Wolfie:
Could it be that the larger spring is that same as for standard suspension and the inner is a helper that uprated it to heavy duty? Would seem logical for LR to have done it that way rather than specifying two different springs for HD suspension.

Might be worth trying to find out as it would be a pain to buy a set of standard 110 springs only to find that they are the same as the ones you've taken off.

Regards

Wolfie
