Extra heavy duty king springs front

[Super Tourer Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Super Tourer]

Hi guys,

I have hd springs in the front with Arb bar, winch steel cable, dual batts, spotties. The front is sagging heaps compared to the rear. 783mm to the rears 823mm.

Has anyone had any experience with HHD Or extra heavy duty springs? Or should I just add a 10mm strut spacer. Afaik the hhd springs have same spring rate, and are simply 20mm longer than the he kings springs.

Thanks in advance.

there should be a difference between front and rear, that amount of rake seems about right.

I had a similar experience with my 95 series, and had to fit adjustable struts (Bilstein on middle clip setting) to lift the front up a bit.

The front just needs to go up about 10mm. AJ120 has 6mm strut spacers which will lift approximately 10-12mm. Or put more accessories in the back

Thanks guys. I'm liking the idea of the 6mm strut spacer. I can put these in at home, no pulling apart the strut and the bolts still fit. I'll hit aj120 up for a set.

With regards to the strut spacer. Are there any drawbacks to installing them?

They are fine at 6mm. But the thicker ones will need to space down the bump stops as well or the shocks are going to bottom out.
