That's finally made my mind up then!
Did I see somewhere that they are physically shorter than the standard spring's though, just stiffer ?

no 2" lift........................................... yet
the springs are 20% stiffer
the swb is lighter than a lwb so less weight to push down on the springs so viola 2" lift of the springs
that coupled with the torsion bar lift (front only lifted a little further than normal due to wear and tear it can cause)
with the torsion i had ruffly 2" lift at the front basically too lvl it out |

Dont forget to loosen the flexi brake pipe on the axle. Clamp it off with small mole grips to stop fluid loss and bleed the brakes afterwards. |
