This little lot arrived this week  Very Happy

Bit disappointed, my last set of Adventures were bright yellow, these are boring black  Sad

Spring seat fitted


All done, bar bolting up the ARB, but we'll leave that till both sides are done and the wheels are back on.


All done, T bars cranked - 10 turns (check the height tomorrow), low profile droop snubbers fitted. Just need to flip the ball joints now.  Very Happy

Springs are medium load +2" TF023V's Pete_88 recons they gave about 2.5" but when I checked them after fitting it was more like 90mm, will measure the actual lift tomorrow, when I check the T bars, after a bit of a rumble about. Strangely enough they are the same free length as the stock Trooper ones so no hassles fitting them  Very Happy

Great mate which ones did you order as there must be some sort of difference between them and
would you mind telling how much 12 months road tax is on your 05 plated motor it's, cheers

TBH I can't remember which ones I bought, but I think it was probably these the difference is in the thickness primarily I think, but check the data sheet here

Tax is £280 for 12 months  Sad

Do you have pics of the trooper after the shocks and springs were fitted to show the height? I'm still trying to decide which shocks/springs to get for mine, was thinking OME's
