Has anyone got experience with installing either the Coil-rite or Airlift spring helper inserts on a Defender 110?
Firestone Coil-rite has a specific part number for Defender 90, but not for 110. Here's a link to the 90 part number:
Firestone Kit for Discovery Range Rover and Defender 90
These contain an airbag that is 4.75" width, which given the 6" OD of the spring sounds about right.
There is another kit using the same length of bag but which is 5.5" width which appears would work good for the 110. (I measured my springs inside diameter to be roughly 5.45") This kit is however for a Toyota Sequoia:
Firestone Kit for Sequoia
In addition this kit for Dodge Ram may work well as its 11" x 5":
Firestone Kit for Dodge Ram
Airlift brand also has a kit here, which it indicates is for both Defender 90 and 110. I can only assume that the Airlift kit falls roughly in the middle of the two spring measurements so there appears to be some wiggle room in sizing these things. (spring joke...)
Since the truck has OME HD springs already and depending on load may or may not need additional support, I am leaning to air helpers rather than replacing the current springs.
Ideas welcome...
thanks, Dave
