is it supposed to sit like this?

wiltshire landyman · Sep 21, 2008

i have included 2 pics the 1st one is before the lift kit and the 2nd one is after the lift kit was fitted.it seems to sit way higher at the back than the front and i dont know why.it dont look quite as back parked up on the grass but on level tarmac it looks like it sits about 2" higher at the back.is it sposed to be like that?

My Terra Firma kit had different length springs for N/S and O/S (O/S a bit longer) and different firmness for front and rear. All the springs were marked (NSF, OSF, NSR, OSR).
When fitted correctly and with a full fuel tank and the driver seated, it should sit level.

as far as i can remember there bearmach springs there were just two for the back and two for the front..not sure on left and right..whats your opinion does it sit right?..
i even towed a trailer sat eve that i use for mobile dj so it was full of kit and even with that on that back didnt come down much

This was mine after I fitted the rear +2" springs and before I fitted the front ones. Looks a bit like yours dunnit?

wiltshire landyman · Sep 21, 2008

mm sure does maybe its right then..i spose bloody great winch and bumper on front dont help..
i did think about putting a spacer on the mount but maybe i might just leave it.

wiltshire landyman · Sep 21, 2008

ohhh front ones not on..thats a different storey maybe it aint right

or fit hd springs to the front

wiltshire landyman · Sep 21, 2008

but it is supposed to be a 2" lift kit and i would have thought they would have matched the springs so it sat level bit dissappointed with how it looks but the handling is good

how heavy is your winch? i know mine makes a difference as it nearly 70kgs, thas why i put hd springs on the front

wiltshire landyman · Sep 21, 2008

good point.it did take two of us to lift the winch and bumper in place..i take the point about heavy duty springs but the guy in the shop was told what i had on the motor and he sold the the right kit apparantly.

but if you look at pic before the lift kit with standard kit it didnt sit that much lower at the front and it had the winch on.
so maybe they havent given me the correct springs?

Sirus · Sep 21, 2008

Take it back to show them, it aint right, get them to change it

wiltshire landyman · Sep 21, 2008

fink i will as i dont think it is right and it will only annoy the hell outa me.fanks for the input..

RAZ8550TDI · Sep 21, 2008

springs on the wrong way, or there v8 springs, or they aint heavy duty and wont take the weight of a winch and bumper.

wiltshire landyman · Sep 22, 2008

i emailed him the pics and he has said it aint right and they may have sent the wrong springs so we wait n see

RAZ8550TDI · Sep 23, 2008

if they have, amke sure yer get a recipt for fitment as you can get the cost of that back to pay for your time.

wiltshire landyman · Sep 23, 2008

they have admitted it aint right so i will see what they come up with..
