3 inch ID is common for our off road stuff, try Prolinx or Milners, or the comp safari sites on facebook - there's usually dozens for sale.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Is it because the dampers are fat that you're having to use 3 inch springs or is there the chance you can get to 2.5 inch? |

They are pretty meaty!I got away with changing spring seats, but the diameter of the cases suggests you don't have that option Geoff. At least you've got the chance to try some |

If you actually want to have some new ones made up I use SpringCoil in Sheffield for my 3.0 ID springs - they can do anything from 1 inch long to silly lengths (my last 3 inch springs were ~30 inch in length). They'll also work the lengths out for you if you just give them the travel you need (+extra for adjustment) and rate.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
