landy helper springs

no antiroll bar till next week geoff, before the helper springs were fitted the chain used to tap along the road a bit haha, and the towbar and loop on the chipper would catch on steep drives, yesterdays drive was well steep and didnt catch..well happy:thumbup1:

is the ride noticably more spine jarring with the helper springs when unladen ?

Mines a converted 110 CSW with the girly Station Wagon springs (and no roll bar) and is bumpy enough - but I guess it's no problem if you're towing a chipper around!

yup but its worth it, have found its best to slow down for them annoying speed jumps the council have installed on every rat run.

The anti roll bar makes a world of differance,and the springs are I find a bit hard when no load on the back.

Love the sound of security chain touching the road with a full load on the way home!

went past the land rover centre today (im still up so no its not tomorrow yet), and got a price for all the necessary bits to convert standard 110 hicap to helper sprung legal looking even when overloaded hicap, if that makes sense? helper springs £16+vat each, top retainer £14.40+vat each, bottom retainer £18+vat, obviously you would need 2x of each part, total £113.74 and it should take half an hour per side to fit including brew break:thumbup1:
