80's springs/rover springs? patrol diff convertion

Post by tinka »

Hey guys ive tried searching for this one.
I can't find anywhere the sort of 80's springs
will stock ones be same hight and spring rate as rover? im looking for a 3 inch lift
will this improve articulation or make it worse?
would i be better moding the spring mount and use the rover 2 inch with a 1 inch spacer?

sorry about the many questions i hope some one can help me
Thanks
Dustin
