below photo is our 90 that already had a 4 inch subframe lift with 35 inch tires and stock coil springs. We added the custom coils to test which brought the lift to 6 inches (Pictured). Coil spring lift didnt noticably change the drivability.
This is great @sarek ! The more I look at the height of my coil sprung 110, the more I'm wanting just a little lift for piece of mind. Assuming the stock shocks are fine taking the extra height?
Would we be able to see what an otherwise stock Defender looks Iike with the lifted coils? Personally I'm interested in pics of the #90 and #110. The shown #90 with 6" of height looks pretty tall to me, as someone who plans on driving the truck nearly daily. Obviously I can see the benefit when rock crawling, but for day-to-day use it's out of the question.
One branch-off that I'd love to see after modifications like these: Answers to common questions.
What size wheel/tire can you specify and run after completing the coil swap?

Absolutely no problem with the stock shocks. It is as simple as replacing your stock coil springs with these, performing a four-wheel alignment, and aiming the headlamps.

I completely understand that photos of my test vehicle will not provide an accurate visual. I ordered these coil springs special made and had to fit them on my truck to determine if everything works well. Hence the reason why I only have photos of it with a subframe lift already installed. As soon as this pre-order is done, I will have plenty of photos of stock height vehicles that only have the coil spring left. As far as 6 in being excessively too tall, I have also added a photo of my truck next to an Nas d90 with 2 inch lift and 33 inch tires for reference. I have confirmed with measuring that the expected lift from the springs is going to be very close to the specs given. Every vehicle may be slightly different just by how it is equipped and how much weight is being put in it. I went taller in the rear with more load rating so that with the vehicle unloaded, there will be some rake. But as soon as you add load or hook up a trailer you shouldn't have to worry about the rear squatting. And to reiterate, my truck with or without these lift springs rides the same.
