I don't think they are the same, as I understand the owners of SWB use the LWB springs to do a 2" lift.

I'll measure my orriganal LWB ones in a bit..

I put a set of LWB springs on my SWB and it hardly made a difference :doh

Ohhh... I was just saying what I had been told, and I am sure read in some older posts on here...

Mind you, there are old LWB SPRINGS and OLD, LWB springs... I wonder what mine would be like, having carried heavy loads in the boot, and towed caravans and trailers etc, compared to say, uncle Rustics Baby...:lol

If you can stick a pick up too so I can see coil comparison that would be just dandy

OK... shiny orange ones are the +2" LWB lift springs at 19" They did say when I bought them depending on the production run they are between 2" and 3" longer than the originals.
