        Replaced the rear springs with standard ones from Milners last year, no saggy rear end, they are good replacements and do what they say on the tin.

          From my experience, Milner springs were rubbish broke 3 sets. But they may have improved.
          Roughtrax were a much better ride and havn't sagged or broken.
          My vehicle spends 3/4 of its time with a trailer on the back and i still run the adjustable suspension.

            settled on rough trax springs, [I think]

            going for rufftrax springs on the rear of me ol' girlie.
            so far had some great results from either advice, or indeed getting spares that I needed to get her back to near 100% original

            thankyou to you all
            everythings here except rear luggage cover and electric ariel
            will be contacting you both very soon.

              Yes, get the roughtrax +2" springs with the +2" Front and Rear shocks. You won't need to tweek the torsion bars.

                Why +2 fronts and why won't the torsion bars need 'tweaked'?

                  And why when they are?

                  Unless you are cutting down bump stops, the travel isn't enough to max out the original front shocks.

                  ETA in fact you should be fine with the original rear shocks as well. RT springs will get it nice and level again, and give you a lot more support when fully loaded.

                  They don't shoot the truck skyward. Most report back a genuine real life lift of 1.5"
                  Coil spacers will give you proper lift, then you''ll need to look at the torsion bars, rear shocks and extended rear brake line.
