Springs?

Post by Thonger »

Les Richmond springs?
Looking at changing around rear to frount and new for rear, any one used them, priced competativly?, good quality?

Currently have 6 inch bumpstop clearance at rear and 4 at frount.
Should I just leave it?

your bumpstop clearances sound fine....
would not go much higher really, unless you are scraping tyres.....
in which case I would be cutting guards...

but yes LRA springs are pretty good... a little over priced but have not heard of anyone having problems with his springs

Catch the guards a little at frount on lock, am really only looking at improving frount cleance, and articulation. Already thinking about cutting guards, but then will need new tyres to fill them :D . Thinking of a softer rate springs? Any other tips on improving travel? ie taking out the load leveller, have heard of it, but not sure it has a real benifit. Although they are not fitted to our work landies.

LRA springs are the best all-round combos offerd by any manufacurer in Oz.

Thery are not cheap, but like most things you get what you pay for. I don't have LRA springs, but will be next time.

My Dad's 88 we fitted with Bilstiens and LRA springs (about $1300 all up inc. steering dampner) anbd made a hell of a diffrence, especially since the original set-up was knackerd :!:
