Re: Add a leaf with spring over axle
There solid and make the ride like concrete and eventually your existing springs will curl over the ends of them putting a lot of stress on old springs in one spot, especially on rough and bouncy terrain.
There easy find, I'm sure Llama 4x4 still do them.

Standard SJ springs are pretty flat anyway.
As said if they are already sagging they will just fold over the AAL leaves and snap.

Re: Add a leaf with spring over axle
Just looking at prices at the moment they might have to wait a couple months just bit strapped for cash being just after xmas and having to fork out £400 for a new clutch on the sj and new wheel bearings and oil sump for my l200
Re: Add a leaf with spring over axle
£400 for a clutch? It's around an hour job and around £100 for the clutch kit?
