110 suspension into Range Rover?

Hi everyone, I'm currently giving my RRC a once-over preparing for daily use over summer, and planning to replace the (imo substandard) suspension.
My old Disco had Old Man Emu's which were great, the pro-comp shocks not so much, as many people here have also expressed. Budget is fairly tight, though the product has to last as shipping to New Zealand is around 150 pounds. Still not as bad as the $1500 for a basic set here.

I want a 2" lift for tyre purposes, but prefer a firmer ride, often tow very heavy loads, and have an extra ~50kg of bullbar on the front and ~100kg of permanent tools in the rear. It's running a Peugeot X3DT which I am unsure of the weight of, but I'm guessing it's more than either the 200tdi or the V8. Articulation is well down on the list of priorities. A mate of mine pinched the standard shocks off a 110 to use with a set of 2" lift springs with very good effect on his Disco. I'm wondering if it's possible to go a step further and use 110 springs as well? This should give me both lift and the firm rate that I'm after. As far as I'm aware the fatter rear springs of the 110 should fit, but it would be reassuring to hear from anyone who has tried this before!

The 110 rear springs are bigger diameter than RRC so won't fit, you can get higher spring rate springs for a firmer ride / weight carrying

Also where in NZ are you ?

Ok thanks, glad I asked here. I could have sworn they looked the same diameter, just thicker steel. Was hoping to avoid the much more expensive heavy duty kits, but I suppose that is the only way now.

They're not too expensive really, normal springs are around £30 each and a kit of springs and shocks is usually £220 odd so nothing in it really, transport will be a massive factor for you though

Nice my aunt lives just outside of Auckland and I lived in Canterbury for a year, think I only saw 10 land rovers in total
