Mmm, certainly looks lower. Wonder what effect your canopy has. Thanks for the photo. Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Thanks JOW, I did. Sadly I was one post too late as I was hoping to get the springs, ARB and bilsteins. Plus wasn't sure if he'd send to France. Alive do a good discount for the lot, plus polybushes, for only a couple of hundred quid more. Wouldn't normally want to spend moe money than necessary but as they'd be delivered to France, new, warrantied etc, it's worth it. ![]() I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

The canopy doesn’t make that much difference. I can pick it up and put it on myself.

All double cabs were fitted with HD rear springs. 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html

This was mine when it had a 2" lift. The trailer nose weight didn't make much difference. It's lower now that I've reinstated the proper springs. So yes - yours looks a bit high.

Good photo, thank you. And I assume those are 16" wheels? Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Thanks Intercept, I'm convinced now. Mine looks that high even with 18" wheels. I have to say, I don't mind the standard ride-height I had before on my SW, but my current gap is too much for me. You see too much of the gubbins. It'll be quite a drop and quite a difference when I add the Alive springs ![]() I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Surely the rolling radius of an 18" wheel and tyre should be roughly the same as a 16" wheel and tyre so won't make the arch gap any different? Ray
