more 110 suspension questions

The self leveller aids the weaker springs fitted with it to keep level. If it isn't working, the back will sag unless it is unloaded. The likeliehood is that the rear springs are sagged anyway - and the self leveller probably can't cope with that even if it is still working. However, the simplest thing to do is to simply replace the rear springs with the ones used on the unlevelled version. There is no need to do anything with the self leveller. This is what I have done.

...unless it jams in the "up" position...

I've not had one, but apparently it can and it makes for "interesting" handling.

Whilst on the subject what do you think of the airbag spring helpers? I was thinking of removing the self leveler - fitting the original soft springs and using the airbags when towing or carrying a load - 110 CSW V8

Hi JD

Whats the ride quality like with the new springs compared with softer levelled ones? Even with a saggy bum the ride quality on mine is very good and I don't really want it to be too harsh.

Perhaps a pair of the dual rate ones from Td5 110's may be the answer?

Very noticeably rougher. But I need the load carrying ability (often carry

Hasn't in eight years including a lot of offroad. JD

Should work. But quotes I have had make overhauling the leveller look cheap. JD

Hi Richard

Would they fit ok? and would the ride hieght match the front? and the inevitable how compared to tothers mentioned?

Cheers

I assume that yours hasn't got itself jammed "up" I'm sure someone in the group had one, though.
