According to the king spring web site they are different and 4wd bits say you get a 15mm increase in height , lwb into swb....is this the case ? I am still hunting out some good 50mm lift springs that dont require spacers to lift the safari, if any one has any pm me...

To bouncy mate, I did it and had this problem. A LWB can carry more weight then a shorty hence stiffer spring rates.

Yeah it's closer to 3 inch.
Had LWB coils in my old SWB.
Al's right about them being stiffer but the only time I really sat up and took notice were pot holes at speed.
Still flexed fine and is a good choice to get a little extra height without going all the way to 4" and all the extra bits associated with that.

I have 2inch lift lwb springs in the back of my swb, it does lift a bit more that the 2inch and to me it still seems to be quite soft and flexible in the rear.

Hi tga_4x4 ,
Are you looking at buying a set of rear GQ LWB coil springs? I have a set for sale.
