PS - you'll probably find RR red/whites a bit to soft on a 90 - they have a lower rating than standard 90 rears.

As said above red/whites will be soft and with give you lots of roll on road on a 90.

If it helps I fitted, these LR springs to my 90 (with a front winch)..

    * NRC9448 Blue/Red 15.31" 225 lbs/inch on rear
    * NRC9449 Yellow/White 14.80" 225 lbs/inch on front

To have the rear level I turned the spring cups round on rear and fitted RR rubber isolators to top of spring. I measured it all again to see what lift there was compared to when it was stock..

    RH Rear 52.3cm now 54.8cm
    LH Rear 50.4cm now 54.8cm

    RH Front 52.3cm now 53.9cm
    LH Front 51cm now 53.9cm

Rear is slightly higher, which is fine for me when I have all recovery gear etc loaded into the back. If you wanted it level just using the RR rubber isolator on the rears would do it.
