Front coil options please

notenoughtime · Jan 1, 2015

I have searched but going round in circles
I have a 2000 TD5 which came with coil conversion on the rear and it sits slightly nose down 1-2inchs haven't actually measured it yet but approx

The rear springs are blue and am thinking they are bearmach? Your thoughts please

What springs should I fit on the front to get it level? I'm Prob going to put a discreet winch on but that's prob it, do I get some new std height as old ones Prob sagged or go for some uprated?

Yes I understand there are many variables but just looking for some advise from people who have been though this already
Sorry if this is the usual question and your bored already!?
Thanks

i would search around on suppliers sites etc to track down which make you have, maybe a pic on here might help, are you try to level it up? do they feel very stiff, ie heavey duty etc or just seem normal? theres that much choice and price difference on the market, glad ive just got airbags!

U need to know what the poundage of the rear springs which is usually done by the different coloured stripes painter on them, maybe u now have incorrect springs for your present use but ok for previous load carrying use, so if u wish to level the vehicle find out what they are firstf and perhaps fit genuine D2 rear springs.
Unless the springs have Bearmach on then they can come from any where, British Springs sometimes paint their springs blue.

There is a chart on the www that will give the specs of Land Rover springs so Google that and u shall find.

Pic of rear springs above
I measured against my dads D2 still running bags and mine is approx 2in higher at the rear
Do I now raise the front 2in? What do you think

I would guess they're probably bearmach standard length HD springs. It would pretty odd if someone put +2 springs on the rear only.

Did think they would be bearmach but what should I do? Don't want to go buying all types of different springs lol
Thanks for reply

Fronts look standard rusty sagged originals lol

Give those rear springs a clean and see if you can find a code/serial number etc

notenoughtime · Jan 2, 2015

I'm going to swap the wheels around tomorrow so I'll give them a clean and check
May just take the spring out and check it right over

I looked at a few pics on the net and couldn't see any with any sort of stamp on, but worth a check.
