Has anyone got the above fitted to their trucks and are they any good, they will be going on a swb if that makes any difference.
Thanks

There were some problems last year
Springs breaking after about 12 - 18 months .
A good few of us have moved to LR 90 springs .. _________________

I've had mine a couple of years and although they perform well, the offside one is now sagging about an inch. |

My ones were just over a year old
One was in 3 bit the othrr in 2 .
When I returned them to bloodred they were going to look into
the problem .
Don't get me wrong they performed well off road , and I was given
a new pair without any problems . But I sold them and went in favour of
LR 90 springs (which are much cheaper than bloodreds) _________________

Think I might give the blood reds a miss and go down the landy springs route.
Thanks for the replies

I've decided to get the TERRAFIRMA TF023V +2 springs and seats, will I need to extend the brake lines with this amount of lift?

Just a note: I've fitted 4" body lift, 3" suspension lift and +2" shocks....and all the brakes are standard, not a problem with any of the lines _________________ 1999 3.0 TD Duty SWB
