Post by: dogwood on June 28, 2006, 18:58:05

thought i'd check out some springs for the Td5
checking paddocks they do HD springs  but are  for drivers side and passenger  part no rkb101230& rkb101240 (rear)
                                 part no.nrc9448  & nrc9449  (front)
they also do Britpart  front rated   200lbs  and  230 lbs
 and 3 rear   at 220      300-400      and 360

britpart are £50 pair  the others£14 each

confused   what will give me 2" lift

Don't know about paddocks, but here are the heights for the britpart ones..

FRONTS

    * Type 4201 1” (25mm)lift with 25kg load-200lbs/in
    * Type 4202 1.5” (38mm) lift with 50 kg load -230 lbs/in

REARS

    * Type 4203 1.5” (38mm) lift with light load -220 lbs/in
    * Type 4204 2” (51mm) lift with 100kg load - 300-340 lbs/in
    * Type 4205 2” (51mm) lift with 200kg load - 360 lbs/in

I'm using 4202's on the front of mine. The Britpart springs have a good reputation.

Cheers

Steve

What are the loads for the standard TD5 springs?

don't know but to add to the above info
the parts are standard replacements I think
 bearmach do 255lb blue for road use which gives 45mm lift on the front and 295lb rear which gives 40 mm lift  roughly  13/4 inch and 11/2 inch they don't recommend the 2" lift springs for load or towing
