Hi Az, how's things? Family doing well I hope?

I think the fronts may be a bit light duty for what you want to fit, but I would fit and see before spending money!

I wouldn't go any stiffer on the back, as unless you constantly carry lots of weight you will find it very "crash bang" on nomal driving. There is no reason why you can't fit a better rated spring just on the front, check out Terrafirma as they seem to have some good kit.

I have read some where that county spec 90s had ....

Hd 90 rear springs on the rear, and std 90 rears on the front?


the springs from Devon 4 x 4 are a bit to steep for me, thanks any way.

all good hear Crazymac thanks, hope to be down your way when the weather warms up abit.

sure? what does the workshop manual say? I ask because CSW 110 tdi are fitted with much softer than standard springs and have a boge unit fitted to the A frame to compensate (it pumps up the bum). I do not know if they where ever fitted to the County 90's. The boge unit fails in time leaving the weaker springs to try and cope but they become saggy (the is a test procedure for the unit in manual). The boge unit is $$$ so often it either removed or left in place not working but standard or heavy duty spring are hten fitted to restore ride height.
