Ok so I need to order a set of 2in HD springs thinking OME or RTY.
Now are there any local companies that can order these for me or should I just call inland rovers or Rovertym direct .

Thanks

PS for D1

Hi Franko,

Click on the supporters page tab above (on the Home page) and scroll down to the list of local suppliers.

I personally have got Old Man Emu parts through Don at RoverTech, but I expect they can all get them for you.

If you are changing the springs you should uprate the shocks at the same time. Most suppliers do the 4 springs & 4 shocks in a package.

Let us know when you get them (where & how much)
cheers,
Andy

Any 4WD shop will sell OME. Phone around.

Franko,
also check into the toyota lancruiser 80 series coil springs. i believe the stock coils would give you 3 inches of lift and with the extra weight of your engine they may workout for you after sag from the weight.
i believe these springs can be mounted on a rover just by very minor mod.

As I remember, OME is manufactured by ARB. Try North Shore Off Road. They are an ARB supplier and have sold springs or shocks not as a full four corner package. Also if you send ARB an email they will send you a dealer list as well as a parts list for your specific truck. Their North America head office is in Seatle. Good luck.
