Did you keep you old springs?
Indeed, usually I trash any original parts, but I brought them home as another local-ish owner wanted stock springs, but he hasn't replied to any of my emails, so they are in my garage awaiting a dump run
Our local dealer is fitting the Eibach HD 40mm springs, you'd have to consult with your dealer as to the warranty situation. Supply only for the springs (front/rear) was only $650 AUD
I have been running those springs now for 10K Klms without issue, our local dealership fits them as an option. I know personally 15 owners that have them fitted also without issue
Don’t know if you replaced fronts too, but have you compared loose springs? I know LR spring were dimensionally similar so you could swap positions, opening up options.
I did new OEM front and rears... The front and rear springs are vastly different in size (and the rears are progressive)
I would definitely say the black springs... With the blue's and a similar amount of weight to the roof conversion in my cargo area, with a full LRA tank it was definitely a bit lower than I'd like in the rear (probably as low or a bit lower than pre-LRA tank with green springs).
I ran firestone bags for years in an LX470. They were intended as a temp fix, but, for the three years until I put the lift in, no issues, didn't affect the offroading as much as I thought they would, and it's easy to carry a spare. If he doesnt want a lift, and uses his truck at home in lighter cofiguration, that ozzy bag lift system with in cab control would be the way to go over the HD springs, in my opinion. That's a neat add on for off grid travel.
