Do you mean off the shelf or customs?

King and Lovells both have 4" springs. The only ones that I know of are the Rovertym ones in the states.

I spoke with Dobinsons 6 months ago told them exactly what i wanted ... the weight of the vehicle , the weight of the gear we take away ...

they custom wound up our springs , $275 a pair ...$60 delivered to my door .
A mate saw mine rang them a few weeks later and had 6 inch customs wound up , don't quote me but he paid around $320 a pair and $60 delivery .

Hope this helps

apparntly standard 80 series cruiser front springs put in the front of a disco will give it 3" of lift, so if you buy a 2" or 3" lifted 80 series cruiser spring you will have 5"-6" of lift

im just trying to find out what goes in the rear to equal out the front

No, nobody makes a spring that big, just work out what spring rate you want, and lovell's will make customs

I've had Lovells make a few springs and their turn around is stupidly long and they cost more. I would try Browns in Vic, King in QLD or somebody else.

what lower spring platforms do you have on your nissan diffs? if there rover you will have to mod them.
it is only 80 series front springs that fit the upper coil tower of rangies an disco's.

80 series are a little snug over a gq mount but they do fit.

80 rears are a larger diameter somthing like gq rears
if you go 80 series springs you will need 4 front springs. be carful will climax springs somtime they leave a little to desired in the side to side balance when i put them in my ute they sat heaps hiegher on drives side somthing like 45mm i would use kings comfort rated 2 inch lift but will depend on the height that you are after.
bowers usually have these in stock.

would have been a long time ago that i was there but he had his own climax springs i think that he was just trying them at that stage be anyway i got some lovells off him and couldn't be happier well as happy as i can be with a modded car.
