I dont think they will be suitable, not sure on the length the strength will be different for a 88 and a 109.

Thanks Iannotts! I thought that might be the case. There are secondhand leaf springs on Fbay that I thought might be a good cheap option. Funny, I was just about to buy a rear set of leafs from paddocks until the recent drama here! I'll hang out for another set somewhere else...


Treworgey/Yella, again thanks.

What's yer price price and who would not mind a courier picking the wheels up

I'm up on the Isle of Skye.

the springs are the same length, and as the 109 has a payload limit of 3/4 ton and the 88 has a limit of 1/2ton then the 88 fitted with 109 springs will probably be a bit firmer. shouldn't really be a problem so if it wur me i'd just bung em on.

Thanks Slob!

I reckon I'll do that! I often have the back full of wood anyway and hate a soft ride

S'better then a Woody in the Back

They'll fit. I acquired a pair of 1 ton springs about 15 years ago, been used briefly on a very overloaded vehicle, and they worked fine.
