why odd lengths?

pair of used hd springs for the rear of my 90, one is 10-15mm longer than the other, according to the terrafirma site, the n/s should be the shorter one, why is this for hd springs?

So that it sits level with a full tank and driver.

believe it's to compensate for weight of fuel tank

oki, ill go with that, odd that lightweight springs are the same length though when you'd think they'd need the varying lengths more as they're less stiff.....or maybe not :lol:

opps, same length is for 110 & 130's, i assume the fuel tank is more central?

its in the back between the chassis rails

I've just fitted a suspension on my 90 and the only difference was the rear springs to the front... luckly they came labeled

no difference between lefts or rights....wasnt the HD version though

While were on the subject... My 90's springs are nicely corroded and I'm considering fitting hd springs. Worth it or not? Much change to the ride?

I stuck a pair of heavy duty ones to front of the 90 as the pto winch had pulled the ride height down by over an inch
These were the part numbers listed in the winch instructions and are std 90 rear springs
nrc9448 and 9449
30 pounds the pair from island 4x4
Didnt notice any change to the ride or handling just its pulled the front back up again

It's a long time ago but when I did a '72 S111 I'm sure the springs were handed?
