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

mate standard 80s fronts will give you about 3 inches of lift give or take and are about the same spring rate as rover standard

i used lovell progressive rate springs and they flex awsome

80s shocks
