i might nip up then is your adress on your website ? if so you might see the finnish army coming in saturday.

FYI 14" and 16" springs are the same, only the dampers change.

Have you read the Andreas Lidl post on springs? May be of interest to you depending what you are planning.

Are you planning on winding them to standard spec?

Well, from my job we have a spring manufacturer so first i'm gonna ask him if he has anything to the standard dimensions and rate and also standard +2" lift and a stronger rate. Why Lee ?

I'm off camping in Wales, see you all sunday eve.

Just wondering if you were planing on winding std as baxter has the std ones on the shelf. If you were going custom it makes more sense

yep i want to lift mine. Went in Wales this weekend, AWESOME first time i put the diff locks on was awesome !!!! cant wait for next one . Waiting for anyone to give me the dimensions still thank you .

Are you aware you don't need new springs to lift the van?

Ok so I did some measurements, but I am not very happy with them. To explain myself, I could not measure the diameter of the springs very accurate because they were twisted and pressured under the weight of the van. They good news is that I am planning to remove them during Christmas, so if you are not in a hurry I can give you then more accurate measurements and send you pictures etc.

Anyway, the measurements I have now is:

Front: diameter of the steel tube is 17mm, 7 coils and the external diameter was 175mm
Rear: the diameter of the steel is 20mm, 7 coils and the external diameter of the middle part is 160mm. The narrow ones (up and down) I could not measure them because they where really hidden.

I hope this helps for now, but I can send you all the details you want once I remove them.
