standard springs or +1"
kiteman0:
all i do is green lanes,was on the strata florida yesterday and realised a lift or new springs would really help.i need to change my front shocks due to a leak,
do you think if i change the front shocks (pair)
and put new springs all round +1" will it be better.
people we was with yesterday said my suspension had sagged alot
good job there wasn't alot of water around
cheers

plus two inch pro comp set improved my ride no end. just these days are about 200 quid . plus u get gas shocks instead of oil ones
spacers are not worth it on worn out springs and shocks
ud have about 15 inch of clearence from the sills
Disco Matt:
If your existing springs have sagged, you'll probably find that a set of new standard height ones will sort it. Bear in mind that a lift will make it even more difficult to find suitable car parks, plus you'll have to extend brake hoses, etc.

i didn't really want a 2" lift, just brought wheels and tyres and they will look stupid if the vehicle is to high,if i go for standard shocks and then 1" bigger springs allround,will they work ok together.

maybe hd springs would be the answer there about 55 quid a set gives standard height but r alot firmer there the same springs as the police use. thing is do u intend to go further off road in the future.
put it this way first year i was on standard height with replacement bushes and shocks but the springs still felt worn out.
second year on was on a 2 inch lift and 235/70/16 grizzlys great but even around the eastnor course ( the old land rover test ground ) one it still bellyed out at times
third year till now im running 2 inch lift and 265/75/16 macho . ive notice improve balance in cross axles and alot better road stable wise cause of the wider track and the extra height.
now intend to go plus 2 on the body.
all i ll say stages are better than a vast change in my view
ive got nothing fancy just springs , shocks , brake pipes and anti roll bars still on there.
