I made some extended bump stops based on the dimensions of one I bought for my Disco 300TDi after fitting bigger tyres. Now coming to fit them and the rear off side one wont fit as there is not enough room.

Any ideas? I was wondering if the springs might be knackered?

Have you got a lift?? Just having larger tyres wont alter the suspension. the stock one is about 2 - 3" thick and ive got shed loads of room for my stock one on my 2" lift,. So you have either mucked up or dont have a lift

Hi dave,
No lift. Just put extended bump stops to stop the wheels hitting top of the arches at any point.

The near side fits fine... although less room than I'd expect and is hitting the stop on most bumps.

The off side bump stop just is just too big for the space... so I'm thinking the springs have gone weak, especially the off side rear.

your thoughts?

Well there's not really any other explanation apart from soggy springs... replace them!

That's what I figured but just wanted to double check incase I was missing something.

Skint as I am, looks like I'll be doing a lift sooner than planned! meh!

Or... what ya reckon to adding spring spacers till I do the lift (and can afford it)?
