Too hard you lose ride quality and articulation.

OK to put them in the front if you put a diesel in instead of V8 but I would go for a Police spec springs if you want to increase ride height and stiffen it up, about £60.00 for all the springs from Craddocks.

I'd agree, cheapest safe option for a spring upgrade is police spec.

Exactly. The police spec give about 1 1/2" when new, they settle a bit but not that much.  Funny as I don't recall police RRC being that tall :-k
