Hi I would like some help please if you chaps dont mind. First of all just to be up front and honest My company manufactures springs.
I often get asked to make springs for land rover discovery, range rover etc etc.Most want to either carry more weight, lift the vehicle and so on.
So my question is : is there a reliable source for the basic or original spring details such as spring rates, internal diameters, fitted heights etc.
I can appreciate that this may not be a normal use for this forum and if the administrators feel that this post is unacceptable please feel free to delete as appropriate.
However, if you feel you can help i would be most grateful.
Just to give an example I have a customer that has a Disco2 TD5 with a gross weight of 2560 kilos. Front axle 1260 Kilos Rear axle 1300 Kilos and want to lift the vehicle 4"
I assume hes doing a bit of extreme off roading.
I understand that a usual weight for this car is about 2200 kilos so hes carrying a bit more weight. If I knew where to get the basic info for this vehicle I could do the calculations and
design and manufacture his springs.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

I had plans to take my springs out and take some measurements to send to a spring manufacturer, but haven't had the time yet.

 

I found the numbers a while back through a bunch of googling. I might've even posted them up in a thread, I can't remember. I probably did. If you dig through my thread history and look for things along the lines of cheaper lift alternative, Caprice springs, bronco springs, etc you should find It. I don't recall what it was under.

 

Nevermind, I glanced through and couldn't find it. It's out there though. With some googling it can be found. It an old school looking web page with a basic spreadsheet on it with tons of LR spring specs.

That green is terrible though.. B/W PDF backup STAT!

None of those specs are for a D2 though. It's all early D1, Defender 90 & 110, RR Classic. D2 uses different springs than the D1

 

I have OME D1 springs in MagPie — I probably have around a 3”-3.5” lift
