The Land Rover is finally back from the shop with new Alcan springs. We were quite anxious having it away since Darrin has always done all the work on the vehicle. Without a lift and winter in full swing, we turned to Performance Unlimited in Bridgewater, VT to do the work. After a few scheduling hiccups and miscommunications, they did great work and we are very pleased.
With our vehicle fully loaded with 2 fuel tanks, extra fuel cans, water tank, extra water cans, the homemade roof top tent and us, the Land Rover’s full weight came in at 5,000 pounds. Standard Land Rover specs say 4,250 is the max load on their standard springs. Since we were over, we turned to Alcan for custom springs designed to carry the increased weight.
We never thought leaf springs could provide such a pleasant ride for a Land Rover…even on our frost heave roads!
Thank you Alcan and Performance Unlimited!
