Rear only ARB ?

Hiya again,

My newer 90 had no ARBs fitted when i got it and compared to my older one (front and rear factory ARB) never felt great so after a call to Alive i ordered their uprated rear ARB installed it and its been a transformation, Very happy.

Thing is during the conversation we discussed the need/requirement for fitting a front ARB along with the rear and i was told 'Not needed'

So despite the vast improvement with the Alive rear ARB what are peoples thoughts ? Do you agree a rear ARB with no front one, or what ? Its just been a niggling thing in my mind ever since as so far as i'm aware LR fit them in pairs or not at all.

From a context angle its tarmac use i'm concerned with really, despite our rural location i'm not bothered about off road articulation, the worst my truck gets to be honest is 3/4 into the verges along the single track roads.

If its got the dogs in or i'm towing at its max rated (which i do) then handling doesnt really concern me, but if its just me and the Van then

I think I was Skyfall on here that said he's always had the heavier ARB on the front, which educated me. This would suggest maybe you would have at least standard on front? But I don't know the science.

I'd imagine you could pick up a newish take off front ARB for next to nothing, maybe even from Alive ? Might be worth trying? James
