Any recommendations for heavy duty 110 springs?

A mate of mine runs on air assisters on his frontera. He says they are great on road when he is towing. My concern would be with the possibility of damaging em when offroading.

Some air asisters are rubber bags that fit inside the springs, the only thing I think that would get damaged with these Monroe Max-Air shocks is if you didn't clip the air hoses close to the chassis they could get caught up on summat. I think I would route the pipe straight up the body of the shocker then, clip to the chassis then up through the floor around the tailgate, so you can adjust the pressure easily.

I'm not on commission honest. I've asked Monroe if they have a Max-Air model that fits a Defender and if so where to get them. I'm going to talk to TerraFirma about them when I go up there, I'll let you know what they say.

Am I right in saying that the only way to tell one spring from another (e.g. heavy duty etc) is the colour of the paint on it?

Cheers,

Any update?

I'm having the spring assisters from axletwister4x4. As long as my landy goes through it's mot ok tomorrow they're getting ordered for next week.

am running bratpart h/d standard ride height springs with std length procomp shocks.......lifted my truck about 2 inches due to old springs being cacked......fitted a scrapiron racing detatchable towbar with maypole plant style towing hitch (both ball and pin),.....no more clanging from back end when i used to plough the fields lol.......i still regularly tow over 2 and a half tonnes using this set up with no probs to report. hope this helps you ratty

Hi All - does any of you know where i can get a set of rear helper springs (not the air ones - the metal versions) - and is there a front kit too?

Mine are Bearmach

They don't do a front twin spring kit AFAIK but I have genuine land rover HD front springs as my landy had a PTO winch fitted from new.

parts for inner springs are ,rrc3266 spring, rrc3355 lower retainer ,rrc3352 upper retainer ,fs110301l bolt 2 per side ,and maybe nrc4318 spring retainer if your old ones rusty
