Help decide which springs with Bilstein Shocks
I know there are several threads and i've searched and read but I just wanted a specific answer towards me. Thanks!
My parking garage max is 6'8 inches.
Background- Just purchased from my buddy for a steal of a deal. 4k
2004 Land Rover Discovery II SE7. 116,xxx miles on Rover. 60k service was completed by the dealer. I'm going to do Disco mikes write up. Differentials are leaking fluids as well as the valve cover.
I plan on ordering the head gasket kit from AB and complete that sometime. As well as replace the wiper motor lol. It has been flaky lately. Also ordered the ujoints/bearing from Advanced auto using a 40% off coupon! Only ordered enough for the front shaft though. Still need to order for the rear.
With that said. I just installed Hankook ATM RF10s 255/60-18. The suspension has to be shot at 116k miles. I am ordering
Bilstein BE5-6046-H0 (FRONT RIGHT&LEFT)
Bilstein BE5-6047-H0 (REAR RIGHT&LEFT)
Bilstein BE3-A580-H0 (FRONT Steering Damper)
all from allshocks.com. They seem to have the best price. If anyone knows any cheaper let me know.
What will I be using it for? Winter vehicle as well as summer camping trips. I will pull a 16foot trailer loaded with 2 ATV's. This will be pulled down to Arkansas for a bit of offroading, nothing extreme as well as crossing a few rivers/creeks. Maybe a 1ft to 1.5ft deep.
So it needs to be able to handle the weight of the trailer and not be too harsh since I wont be pulling it all the time. I was considering the medium duty springs.
Best place to order the springs from?
