Title: Lift Kit for 110 Commercial
Post by: Sharpshooter on March 07, 2006, 11:19:47

Hi All. My 110 is a Commercial. Meaning it has 7" rear springs, not 6" Apparently.

Does anyone know any better, and can i get a lift kit to fit them. Cheers.

All 110's have larger diameter rear springs...

Only difference between a commercial, a station wagon and a CSW is the spring rates (lower on a CSW because it's also got a self leveler unit)


90, Range Rover, and Disco's all have the same diameter springs front and back (though different spring rates)

So i should be ok fitting a normal 110 kit then. Or do i have to worry about the extra load.

I have to MOT it as a class 5

Depends how much weight your planning on carrying???

Any of the springs will be ok bar the CSW set....

Is there anything on the V5 that says what MoT class you need - I'm led to believe that my 110 is a 'heavy duty' variant (vented front discs, double rear springs)......would it need a Class 5 MoT ?

Assume that's part J on the V5 (vehicle category), if so, then my 110 is N1 and the Disco is M1....what's the difference ?

Seems that the V5's are a bit hit & miss - the Disco one says 2880kg gross (revenue weight), and no wheelplan, the 110 one says 2-axle-rigid-body and 3500kg gross.

What difference is there between MoT class 5 and whatever class it is for cars ?

They use a bigger ramp, as the overall weight could be higher on the class 5 ???
