REF snatch land rover 4.1 tons HD spring what do you run

[mendiplogs]

HI ALL ref snatch armoured land rover gross at 4.1 tons do you no what spring they are and what spring are on your land rover now looking for the MOD springs as they will be good on a110/130 tipper :thumbup1:does anyone no what they are thanks all jon

Any heavy duty spring upgrade should be fine, I've terrafirma light duty on my 90 with their shocks. Heavy duty would have meant that I had to extend my brake lines as they lift by more than 2" and I dont carry too much weight in the back. Could be wrong but I think the snatch has shorter HD springs judging by the ride hight with a heavy duty non standard chassis. To cope with a load of chip most HD springs should be ok as long as you dont go for Britpart, I've had a spring sag before along with other issues with their stuff.

HI WAZ i think MOD run small lorry springs so I'm told but let me no thanks was jon

You'll probably have to make afew mods for that as the snatch chassis is quite different. Have you thought about helper springs to fit inside your existing.

HI WAZ ref helper springs yes thought of that but I'm we run 2 ins lift H DUTY on the snatch land rover it will a HD chassis to take the extra 600 kgs over a 3500 kgs thanks jon

No matter what springs you have fitted its only ever going to be plated to carry 3.5 ton so all it might do is stop the landy acting like a boat with a full load on. Also the ride will probably be terrible when it's empty as there isn't enough weight to get the springs to move.
