Hey guys trying to get ideas on what springs to run in the rear . I measured rear from bottom of rim to centre of gaurd which measures 505 mm and diff pinion touches bumpstop above diff centre . The springs are king springs compressed another 20 mm from being lowered already but feels like they are to soft , what are my options ?

standard rears unless running a drop tank full of fuel and half a dozen "bunnies" that need a ride home ?

Once you have the springs sorted you may still need to trim the bump stop a bit shorter

If the bump stop gets trimmed can't that cause other issues?

The lowly plebb models didn't have them, at least mine didn't, so probably wont cause much of an issue.

This is the problem I have if I remove to much bumps top , as my fuel pump is above diff .

On my standard L34 theres 65mm between the bump stop and the carrier. The intended meeting point is above the pinion bearing.
With the larger carrier yours is going to contact somewhere it was never designed to.
I'd unbolt it and put it in a safe place.

I notice the below shown in the workshop manual, but in the parts book it lists a bump stop for 4cyl and 5 litre?
