Parabolics
Saffy:
you can get skinny standard shocks and HD duty (yet still LR standard fit shocks), I found the skinny shocks got too hot to touch on my series with parabolics where as the fat HD military ones are fine. Again... if a military series is fitted with extended shackles as standard aren't the brake hoses also extended as standard? (i dunno) What I am asking is when people say they are using 'standard' shocks or hoses with parabolic then specify what they are actually using else it's duff info.

It's a civvy 88"
NiteMare:
oops didn't think of that bit Saffy ...
mine are on a civvy 88" truckcab, rears are 2 +1 helper ..
tbh if it was a station wagon i reckon that 2 adults in the rear and i'd be needing the helper leaf just about all the time (working on 11-12 stone each adult), i had three diffs a full set of 88" springs, 6 brake drums and 4 complete hubs/stubs and a heavy box of bits all wedged in the tub today and she was sat down quite a bit (i also carry a 7.50x16 on a frame over the tub) which feels really wierd after having got used to a nose down stance
Hightower:
Finished fitting my paras (from GB Springs) this evening and have noticed that the rear is now significantly higher than the front. Not having had paras before, is this expected? I assume given that the diesel lump is heavy that it will have some impact, but the angle of the car is quite noticeable.
Will this affect handling any?

I think I have same para on my S1 (same springs as a 88" siii), it's common to not get the HD ones for rear to prevent the dragster look if not regular towing or carrying loads - did you get HD ones? (more leaf on them). Mine are HD, they do settle down a bit. They clunk quite a bit when new too.
not too jacked looking here ?...
