Dumb suspension question

wiltshire landyman · May 17, 2012

i certainly wouldnt just put hd on the front and leave standard at the back

it will all perform differently

Dave90 · May 17, 2012

I've got HD, seems to be higher than standard, and before anybody gives me stick for going with Britpart, I have had no problems with them *touch wood*

The shipping will be the killer.

I figure if im gonna do it I should do it correctly the first time.

Everything that I have read about the G.Lewis stuff has been possitive.

My big decision was whether to lift it more or not.

I decided not to, I think she does fine as is.

Also a very good salesman it seems

Dave90 · May 22, 2012

Couldn't think of a better place to get the stuff from

Dads toy · May 23, 2012

So post No1 says "I do NOT want to lift it"... which is why folks recommended standard LR.
What changed your mind?

Gwyn Lewis.

Still staying standard height.

natas · May 28, 2012

My parts have shipped from Wales.

I am excited.

New roof, new winch bumper and winch, new suspension.

My wife is ****ed, she wanted a new kitchen:ballchain:

200tdi ayre · May 28, 2012

**** splashing out what winch ?

natas · May 28, 2012

Warn XD9000.

natas · May 29, 2012

So, I am not a meachanic but am used to tools and minor jobs.

Will I be able to do this install myself?

natas · May 29, 2012

Another dumb question.

On a stock 90, whats to stop the spring from coming out of place on full articulation?

Paul D · May 29, 2012

The lack of articulation ..

Seriously, the damper doesn't move far enough, so stops the axle moving enough to displace the spring.

jamesmartin · May 29, 2012

shock absorber

natas · May 29, 2012

Ahhh !!

the shock/damper holds it there !!

Then that would explain the "front spring retainers" from Mr. Lewis.

Ive got lots to learn.

Thanks guys.
