Thanks for your reply, i did however see that link in the link section, but noone carries coils for more then maybe 65mm lift! mine is atleast 75mm higher then stock, maybe 90mm, so i dont want any lower then that, since i already have trouble clearing the fenders with these new beadlocks i got...

How about using coil spacers atop some shorter lift springs to achieve the desired lift, if you're unable to find exactly correct length ones?

Do you know spring rate and free lenght of coils you have now? Rover coils are used also. Upper coil seat is same diameter. In lower seat you can use rover coil seat. Requiers some grinding and welding.

I dont have the spring rate, but i have pretty much all the measurements of the coil..

Free length is uncomressed right? if so the free height is 485mm..

I used HDJ-80 springs ~10 years ago -> http://forums.offipalsta.com/showthr...ight=marimekko . HDJ rear springs are wider than LJ so frame requires some rework before they can be fitted. Later I heard new owner changed using HDJ-80 front springs in rear also, but not sure how it changed the suspension. I would not lift more than this amount with springs or spacers as radius arm upper bushings don't handle the big angle well. Also steering becomes awful unless you correct the caster.

Here is LJ70 +150mm front:

Yes. Uncompressed length is what i ment. Pretty long coils you have... I'm not sure are there coils for rover long enough to your rig.

How about "cut and turn" for axle housing instead of new brackets? Turning the axle housing with 100mm lift for proper caster angle might lead prop shaft u-joint binding when suspension is fully decompressed.

Yes, you are partially correct.. I have been in touch with Pedders, and all their coils is too short.. I found out through britparts website that the RRC coils is 390mm stock, so it is +4" lift coils i'd need.. I did find 2 kits though, one 4" and one 5", but they were over 1000£ and included new radius arms and everything..

Not quite sure what you mean with the "cut and turn" though..
