Following on from the successful anti roll bar upgrade my thoughts turned to springs and dampers.
I have had some very helpful input from guys on here who have trodden this path and my thanks go to them.
The front will use a steel spring seat to which the top of the original spring cup has been welded, over this a 2.25"ID spring will sit and this will seat in a new mount bolted to the original spring cup that has had the bump stop removed.
I do not have the new bump stop size etc figured out yet.
Damping will be by a stock AVO adjustable in the normal location.
The rear is to be custom built AVO coilovers which will take the place of the stock damper with strengthened mounting points.
I have fitted a 9"x 500lb spring as a start.
The good thing is I can fit and remove these springs by hand with no compressors and they do not decouple from the spring seats on full droop.
The spring is mounted off centre on the bulkhead to ensure alignment with the bellcrank push rod.
