I think it's the way forward, it cost me next to nothing, the springs where only 25quid of eebuygum. _________________ 2000 3.0 Trooper Duty swb |

Just a little update, I've moved on from bearmachs now, although they where good off road they just weren't up to the job when I had a heavy trailer on, I've replaced them with terrafirma TF023v which are a bit shorter but have a stiffer rate so if anything the truck is sitting a bit higher and fingers crossed will handle a trailer better (will find out tomorrow!!) _________________ 2000 3.0 Trooper Duty swb |

In my opinion the terras are brilliant, they've given round about 2.5" of lift, they compress well off road and they are really good for towing. They are for discos and defenders, and I got the medium duty ones. All in all I'm very happy with how they perform. _________________ 2000 3.0 Trooper Duty swb |

If you go on google or eebuygum and search terrafirma TF023V they will come up. From what I remember they where +2" but like I said they lifted my trooper about 2.5" _________________ 2000 3.0 Trooper Duty swb |

It's up 10 turns, so about 2.5" too. 33's still catch in the arches though so a body lift is hopefully going on at the weekend. _________________ 2000 3.0 Trooper Duty swb |

LAST QUESTION

The bearmachs that I had on to start with gave about 2" of lift but where too soft for towing so I swapped to the terrafirmas which have lifted it just over 2.5". So now I've got a 2.5" suspension lift and a 1.5" body lift. If that helps. _________________ 2000 3.0 Trooper Duty swb |
