An important note for 4BD1 stage 1 owners. This motor weighs abooooout 200kg more than the V8 that this vehicle was designed for. so keep this in mind when doing suspension upgrades. I personally have purchased an 11 leaf heavy duty springs from Heratige series parts and paired them with some 1 ton Military extended shackle too keep that front end off my 33" Km3 muddies.
I fitted rear springs off a 109 after Geoff recommended them. They are great went carry heavy things like stone in the back and also towing a trailer.
Going on about jerry cans on the roof.. So many people put roof top tents on the roof these days, unlike jerry cans which the weight goes down as you use the fuel. A rooftop tent is a constant 60-70kg all time.
What do you prefer leafs or springs??
Get yourself some Rocky Mountain Parabolic springs. Go with the 4 pack for the back
Hi Geoff, just wondering where I can source "orange" poly bushes in Australia? Thanks
What do people use for shockies for landies which are longer aswell
Great video, just wondering how the poly bushes do in the front end of the series. Ive had quite a bit of trouble with them, especially in the spring eye. They end up with the flange torn off in 2-3 months time. Not sure if its another problem or weather different shackles are needed to clamp the bush in place.
I brought brand new SWB landy from falls series 3 1973 wish I’d kept it
I had a similar set up on my 88” Series 3. In addition to the lwb springs on the rear I also fitted slightly longer military spring hangers. I also carried a lot of weight in the back plus a roof tent but the ride was just amazing! Thanks for the great video Geoff 👍
Great video Geoff well done mate. Love these tech videos. Best regards from the Pilbara.
Coil springs! oh wait, I drive a Defender & a Disco. lol
Heyngeoff whats with the long wheel nuts.have you changed to longer wheel studs and closed wheel nuts?
What springs would you choose if running a pto winch
