Puma 110 - front end lift

Hi all,

I am considering trying to lift the front end of my Puma as currently the back is higher than the front, which is usual I know.

I seem to remember using a higher rate set of springs on my old 110 (with winch) to lift it up but can't find any information with regards to lifting the front a little to level everything out when a winch isnt involved

I don't really want to lower the height of the back as I like the height of it, and nor do I want to fork out a huge amount of cash for a complete new set of shocks and springs, much as I would like to buy an OME kit.

How much lift do you need?
Currently I use home made space blocks below my springs to get enough height for my 35" simexes. How my suspensions set up will be when my 90 is finished I don't know yet.

This is however working very good for me and I drive this way already a few years.
For the front axle you can still use your standard shocks and springs.

The only thing you have to look at is the lower part off the pin off the shock and the hole in the standard axle support. If you don't have enough lift the pin might bend on full articulation as it might still stick in the original support.
So or you have to make the hole bigger or you have to shorten the pin. Roel

Derrick at LRS will be able to supply you with the correct OME springs, just tell him what you want to do and he'll be able to send the right springs.

for Derrick. He sorted mine out with the correct OME springs and shocks to take the added weight of ARB Deluxe, Winch, anchor, etc...

Derrick knows his stuff and is a top bloke.

Land rover heavy duty 110 and 130 front springs will lift it by about 1.5 inch. basically the same as 90s rear springs.

I thought about the option of putting the HD springs on, which is a cheap way to do it, but I have these in my 110 and lift the front up quite alot even with the winch and winch bumper on the front so I wonder whether it will lift it up too much with just the standard bumper on the front.

I need to put in on the level tomorrow and see what the height actually is.

I saw these and wondered if they might do the trick........

They are very good, I ran them for a few years, ideal if you are happy with everything just need a lift.
