Default Looks like I've the broke coil spring.

The front driver's side coil has the two bottom turns completely mated together and now the rover tilts to the driver's side about 1" or so. Can't tell you how long it's been like that, only that I finally noticed the slight lean and had a mek-an-ick check it out today.

Since I added a winch and an aftermarket front bumper, I'm thinking about replacing the entire suspension and getting a slight lift.

I don't do any serious offroading, but would like to have the option to add slightly larger tires just in case. Does anyone have any recommendations in the $750 range?

Also...and perhaps mildly important, what are the long term problems of driving my Rover in case I can't get on it right away?

I'm not so keen on anything over 2", by the way.

Call Tony at the LRRF, 650-365-4145 abd order a HD set of OME coils, springs and a steering stabilizer. 751 front coils, 762 rear and the HD shocks.
You can get it for a few bucks over you budget and will love them.

With the weight of a winch and bumper you definitely want to go with the HD suspension. The weight is probably the reason for your current spring situation. Just curios, why have a winch and bumper if you don't do serious off-roading?

Shopping carts can be heavy, and if you ever loose one in the grass, a winch will come in real handy.
