Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just got rid of mine..have 2inch lift,but now need either to lift rear springs a tad OR as i have heard you boys in Australia put a replacement spring where the leveler was...
how do youy do that?what brackets do you use/make..what spring??

i do carry heavy loads ..
thanks

helper air bags in the springs would be better as you can adjust it depending on the load. we have used the brand polyair, replacing 1 bag since 1994 with alot of heavy use.

fit 220 lb per inch springs.

220*17 rear.

Hang on, maybe it would help knowing what he uses it for. 220 lb/in are pretty light for many people's tastes in a well loaded vehicle. Good for off road though.

True,

220 can be light when fully loaded but I found the next size 270 way to heavy especialy when unloaded.

Custom 250 lbb x 17.5-18 inch would be perfect. maybe.

or I would like to run the 220 s with an air bag to replace the bouge unit.
just need to get ass into gear and do this.

I'm using the LRA 220psi 18" and find them perfect, BUT, when I fill my 135 tank and have the camper trailer on, it feels a little soft. I'm fitting the LRA 270's for the trip, but refitting the 220's when I get back. Some times having 2 sets of rears is a good idea.


I agree that fitting poly airs will help too, but they are quite expensive.

I think that the fitting of a spring on the A frame will be reasonably(?)easy but so is changing rear springs for a particular job.

Keeping it simple is sometimes the best.

I'm running 150 lb green stripe range rover springs on the back of my 110 using an adaptor/spacer for the smaller diameter springs which also raises it by 25mm. But my 110 is very light on the rear and I like it soft even if sags a bit with a load

I agree - a couple of sets of springs is the go, a soft set for off-roading and a heavier set for carrying a load. Springs are cheap and easy to change - I dont reckon its worth mucking around with the load leveller or a replacement.

had a brain wave..if i can get one at a good price..refit leveller,but with 2inch extension onto ball joint..

oh its for mainly road use often with heavy loads..

That will be ok if you can a good one, for price of the reco units i wouldnt bother re fitting it.

true..
