109 springs on a 88

mickdj · Jun 21, 2009

my springs are lookin quite flat and iv only 3 or 4cm between the axle and bump stop now i was thinking if they would fit would it give me more hight as id of thought they would be stiffer so when you let the jack down you wouldnt loose all that hight that you do when all the weights on the springs so basically i want it to look like its jacked up all the time. now as for the ride been firmer that wouldnt matter as i only use it for off roading and havent got the money for parabolics , so what do you reckon.

109 fronts should fit, i have British springs on mine and they are hard as fook and jar the **** out of everything, the rears wont fit as they are longer on the 109 your best bet would be save up for parrabolics or fit new standard springs and 1 ton shackles

LWB Springs fit, front & back. Likely to give you a very stiff ride, I don't think they make much difference to the ride hight.

ok thanks its the hight i was after.

hi.
i welded some spring cups onto the rear chassis above the springs and clamped on a pair of coil springs to the top of the leaf spring just behind the axle. did it 2 years ago and no problems.
