Hi guys been reading through the many posts regarding landrover springs. A bit of extra height on the back is what I'm after for carrying gear. Had a look about and wondering if anyone knows if these springs will fit a lwb alright?
Cheers
Dave

When you get chance, can you possibly measure the distance from wheel centre to the top of the arch?
I have aftermarket springs on mine, but bought it that way, and haven't a clue what's on there.
I may need to replace them soon, so looking for ideas.
I have rancho shocks on front and rear.
I have replaced the front shocks with the new part number, but not the rears yet.
I'm not blown away impressed with them at all, as even with adjusting them, it's quite wallowy.
On my last standard Deli, I had Monroe shocks on the front, which were standard, and bloody brilliant. Monroe make the ranchos also, so I'd hoped they would be as good.
I'm taking it that, having a higher sprung vehicle than standard will just not be the same, unless... I spend a lot of money _________________ A Little Knowledge is Dangerous and expensive! especially if your me Mending anything!! |

Hello Grouch, measurement from top of hub where it meets the alloy to the arch is 59cm, that's on the rear. I've not heard good things about Rancho shocks, like you say being made by Monroe you'd expect good quality. If you're not going to be carrying weight I wouldn't recommend the same springs I have as they are rated for an extra 200kg, britpart do another spring DA4204 which will give similar lift but rated for an extra 100kg instead. I'm in desperate need of longer travel rear shocks myself. Currently looking at getting a set of Dobinson's from Australia. |

Cheers.
I'm a bit unsure about your measurements, but don't worry, I struggle reading some stuff
My measurements from exact centre of wheel to wheel arch is 570mm.
A bit lower on other side, hence me thinking I will need new springs soon. _________________ A Little Knowledge is Dangerous and expensive! especially if your me Mending anything!! |

They will be sitting about the same height then bud, if you look at the dead centre of the hub, then about 20-30mm upwards (also downwards left and right) is where the centre bore of the wheel mounts to the spigot on the hub. It's just a definite point to reference instead of roughly placing the tape in the centre to get an accurate measurement. I'm fussy though! Haha I hope that makes some sort of sense. I've no idea how to attach photos from my phone to these posts!
Yes my Deli used to sit lop sided at the rear, the new springs sorted that issue. |

You cannot attach them direct from your phone's photo gallery, you need to have them on a photo hosting website.
