Springs
stevethedent:
Good decision! [-X The handling would be extremely "interesting" if you mixed standard and parabolics. I am very impressed with the ones I got from landranger services in stockport (I spotted you are in Manchester). Good luck with it.
How are you getting on with your problem Delk?
Delk:
To raise the ride height the distance between the axle and the bump stop must increase unless you are installing new tyres and that is why I measured it. It is listed in a addition in the back of the Haynes manual and I am only using it for reference only.
I spoke to they guy at Rocky Mountain and he has asked for some pictures so I will send them off this weekend.
Amma:
I have Rocky Mountain ones on the rear with the optional extra leaf and now I have replaced the one that has snapped (ran out of time before it started to really hammer it down with rain) it is sitting an inch higher than the other side which still needs changing.
Distance from the ground to the wheel arch is 39 inches at the front with a 5 inch gap between the axle and bumpstop and then the rear is 40 inches from the ground to the arch with a whopping 7 inches between the axle and bumpstop. I don't think that I am ever going to get the axle to touch the bumpstops and even with the 9.00x16 tyres I still have a gap of 5 inches between the top of the tyre and the arch.
:D
