109 hybrid springs

[redroverm37]

Anyone have suggestions on what springs I should install on my 109 hybrid? It is a 67 IIA 109 5 door that I put on a 1992 RRC chassis lengthened to 108". It has the RRC springs on the back and it bottoms out with 8 guys in it. Thanks....Pat

OME 764s were too stiff in my 88 hybrid but would be nice in the 109 I would think.

67 IIA 109 5

out of curiosity, what is the vehicle number?

does it start with 343?

I've considered using a LR progressive spring next on mine:

Part #NRC8113 PINK-PURPLE load 449.82# rate is 178.2 lb/inch Range Rover EFi rear (progressive)

Currently using 110 std springs all around.

I run the NRC 4304 RRC "Police Spec" springs now. Tall and light, 17+" and 170 lbs./inch. I think they would be too soft for carrying a load of people in a LWB but are perfect for me and the dog to go wheel in a SWB.

Ive always liked OME but the MDs are probably my favorite. In my 88 inch hybrid, I ran old RTE 2inch rear and D1 rears in the front. Worked pretty well for me but I never carried 8 folks..

It does start with 34300456A

Blueboys rear springs won't work on a hybrid made from a RRC, 110 springs are a larger diameter than other LR coil sprung trucks.

good point Kevin.

the spring I listed though is for a Rangie so that might work for him.

Redrover - go over to RNs Series forum and register your NADA 109.

Put in a set of RN 360lb inch springs....all good now!

360lb inch springs

sounds like OME Extra-HD.

close to my rears which are 330 #/in.

stiff unloaded, yet, not too bad.

and they will take a load nicely which is the usual state of affairs when we travel.
