Which Rear Springs and Shocks?
I have a 300tdi 110 CSW with self leveller removed and replaced with red red / red green 110 hardtop springs and inner helpers, standard shocks. rear anti roll bar is standard. springs are britpart as genuine were not in stock anywhere. The ride was fine but now I have a heavier roof tent there is quite a bit of sway. Standard height - no lift kit.

Can someone recommend which stiffer springs and uprated shocks to try? thanks in advance. 110 Defender 300tdi & Penman trailer with ally exped top and roof tent

Another option is to use some helpers.

Depends how often your Defender is fully loaded. Most of the time my Defender is a dog taxi, just me and two Labs; it's a bit bouncy. When fully loaded with roof tent and all the kit it rides much better. I face a similar dilemma. If I go for Fox Shocks will it too wobbly when full loaded?
