Called into milners this morning for a little something for the weekend
Got a broken rear spring so will be fitting a pair also shock's to match
Got to do the camber shim's so got new front shock's aswell
Got advised on the center prop bearing last mot so picked up one of these plus a new uj
Then on the way out i noticed they also do led light bars so went back in and came out with a 36" one
so my sat morning is now booked up
wish me luck

so what are you gonna do after lunch then ?

Have a knuckle skinning ,swearing ,spanner throwing good time and don't forget to transfer the prop centre bearing spacers

This is why I don't go into 4wd shops. I always come out with no money.

Am sure I saw a rug the same as yours fetch £5000 on Antiques Road show last week

Good luck for the weekend

Errrr are those the heavy duty springs? I hope you either carry a lot of weight all the time or enjoy having your spine jarred when you go over speed bumps!

Ignore me then! clearly gone nuts

Right guy's just a small update
Got rained off last weekend so nothing happened ,well apart from the pub
Fitted the rear spring's & shock's today, never again most bolt's were rusted solid
took me 7 hour's but that did include me making some extended shock mounts & painting the shock's
one slight problem iv'e found iv'e lost 3.5 in of lift
there used to be 27.5 in from the center of the axle to the top inner arch now 24 in
also the spring's are flat onto the bottom helper springs before there was a 1-2in gap between them
it's as if the new spring's are too weak
any advice ?

The springs do sag after a while mate

What brand new one's
See the gap between the bottom leaf & the helper spring ?
when the car is sat on it's wheel's there is no gap both spring's are pressed together

is it possible they are the wrong springs ?

Well they look the same as the old one's & fitted straight on

This is how they look with the weight of the truck on
note the tub is empty not even the spare wheel is fitted
just parked the truck up where i always park(tow ball marks the wall) & it's defo 3.5in lower

I wouldn't think it should be sat on the assisters like that, mine didn't. Are they the light duty springs?

good point, maybe the ones you took off were heavy duty ones ?
