HI CORY thats what we are running its the onb of the hardest springs on the market to take the weight and with lift it way off the BUMP stops thanks jon

Ahh I see. Makes sense BUT what about that poor rusting chassis?

Terrafirma 2inch lift heavy duty springs and shocks, up rated turrets are a must. Wide angled prop shaft if you lift it. 100% better than standard springs. Next job up rating rear arms.

As I said re. chassis........any problems up rating cos I would love to be able to carry 2 m3 bags of fresh in my 110 hi-cap but scared........will the chassis cope? Btw not bothered about the legality........anarchist me!

 

Tbh 90% driving is on private tracks.....

Springs haven't been on long but it's fine. BFG mud's all round so decent tyres and this is what really matters in the mud

The lift is pretty much absorbed in the weight if the body , was advise the are up and happy how it transformed ride and weight capacity , I reckon mine carries 5-6m3 but would need to measure to confirm , wollowley fully loaded tho
