Hi,

I have a land rover series 3 but I want to put coil suspension on it to remove the leaf spring also so I can have better ground clearance is this possible?

Anything's possible if you've got enough time, money and determination:

Google for a specialist LR forum - if it's possible it will have been done many times I am sure...!

Friend of mine had his series 111 rechassised with a new galvanised jobbie complete with coil springs etc, nice job and (relatively) inexpensive.

Ground clearance is set on these by the clearance under the axles and differentials and changing springs does not alter that.

Talk to Paddock - maybe parabolics might do it. As the guys says, you're always limited by the diffs front and rear.
