Hey Bodge

I'm looking for a set of front springs to get the nose back up. Any of the ones you have good for a 2" lift?
Also keen on your axles (I wonder why!)

Drop me a PM with answers and the price you are after (remember realistic )and we can talk.
As for bagging rovers.........next you'll be driving a toymotor.

PM me if you got rid of it honestly because of a mortgage..............

Rangerat - I had 764's in the front of my Rangie which were too hard in my opinion. I would try the LR 180's using this chart:

Aprox 1100 lbs per corner rear:
Aprox 880lbs per corner front.

----------Spring lt:---Lbs/inch----C:T/Load:--Installed Lth:--Bstop:
Rear-------17.8:-------320:--------1100:-------14.36:---------6.36:
Rear-------16.8:-------320:--------1100:-------13.36:---------5.36:
Rear-------17.8:-------270:--------1100:-------13.73:---------5.73:
Rear-------16.8:-------270:--------1100:-------12.73:---------4.73:

Rear-------17:---------220:--------1100:-------12.00:---------4.00:
Rear-------17.2:-------180:--------1100:-------11.09:---------3.09:

Front-------15.5:-------220:--------880:--------11.50:---------3.50:
Front-------17.2:-------180:--------880:--------12.31:---------4.31:
Front-------16.5:-------180:--------880:--------11.61:---------3.61:
Front-------15.9:-------180:--------880:--------11.01:---------3.01:


Note: Std RR has 3 degrees of castor angle, with B/stop clearannce of 2 inches.
Every HALF inch lifted, you will loose ONE degree Castor.

That should give you 1.5 - 2" lift and still be a smooth ride.
If you use the 764's you will definitely get the lift but will need a fair bit of weight up the front to compensate for the high lb rate. The Bodge had at least 3" at the front with bull bar winch and steering guard.

What do you have in there at the moment?

I will PM you about the prices...

[Rangerat]

at the moment I'm running heavy duty rear springs in the front (lbs/inch unknown)
Before the winch and twin batts went in this gave me a 2' lift and the castor angle went back to .5 degree's (which made it fairly sensitive, but not something I was concerned about)
Now with the added weight and the removal of 200kgs from the back I have got a nose down rake. (bump stop clearance was around 4.5")

the problem now may be that my rear springs are too long (they are the longest springs avialable from Rangie Spares, purple/orange) with an easy 6+" of bumpstop.
Add to the fact that I'm putting a 8274 in the front so add another 20kgs.

I had those long 18" rangie spares springs in the back of the Bodge only 180lbs which is too light for a full bodied rangie - with the 764's in the front the bodge was a little arse down.

I feel sure the 764's will hold up all your gear without a prob and net you some lift as well - they are a 'Medium Duty' rear which normally give 1.2" lift at the rear. With your relatively unloaded rear springs it may just level it all out...

Its your call.

I have PM'd you with some reasonable prices to make it worth your while...
