This little lot arrived this week
Bit disappointed, my last set of Adventures were bright yellow, these are boring black
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. _________________ If all else fails just nod, smile and say "Yes Dear"

Very nice bit of kit are the springs plus 2" ,dont forget to go for a spin when you adjust t bars to let them settle then measure _________________ 96 3.1 bighorn lwb ,widetrack |

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 _________________ If all else fails just nod, smile and say "Yes Dear"

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 _________________ aka x66dag

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 _________________ If all else fails just nod, smile and say "Yes Dear"

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 |
