After a year of thinking and debating I went with the HD. Gave me about an inch of lift...but Emma is rock solid with the RTT and the new ARB bumper w/ winch. Worked out just right.

Looks like you already made your decision to go with HD. I installed HD OMEs and have been happy with the ride, despite the lack of rack, HD bumper. I DO plan on adding these accessories soon, and with HD springs I have some piece-of-mind that weight should not be an issue.

I love my Terrafirma Medium set up. The ride is so stiff and springy compared to stock (and forget about old abused stock) with her empty. I'm loving the ride and higher stance right now even if my tires are corny.

Yeah TF HD coming ASAP. I just don't want to cash out the extra $300 for an OME kit when I won't be going off on expeditions or to Australia anytime soon in the Rover.

it's all about consistent finish. don't put a new chrome brush bar on a beat up old off-road rover...to varying degrees! unless it's free and then wrap it in black rubber innertubes...nyc messenger style like mine.

im not doing those trips either but my roads suck and id like to hit it offroad a little. although i still don't get how I am going to protect that differential other than with a wrap diff guard. it seems to hang so low.

I noticed today that two of the four bolts holding down the cone (in the engine bay) have sheared off. They are called the front coil isolator. $17 ea. at AB. Wondering if it's because of my new TF springs and if any of you guys might have a similar problem.

I bought the new HD mounts when I redid mine. Primarily because the originals were already rusty. If you reused the original equipment, it was probably already fatigued and just could not withstand the forces the new setup transmitted. The weakest point is going to fail. RN has a HD set on their web pages.

I found it for you. Take a look at the goodies here.
