Call for assistance to the closet Isuzu Trooper Fans out there

I'm trying to find the specs for the rear coil springs on the troopers, I.E. Load Ratings and free lengths. I've trawled the net and can't seem to find any details so is there anyone out there in FOG Land that can help at all ???????

Cheers Ste,
first one gives some nice and very useful diagrams but unfortunately neither links seem to give free length or load ratings which is what I'm struggling to find

Even joined ITOC to see if there was any relevant info and so far, none that I can find sadly....

[Drift]

Could you not pose as a customer?
Or try getting intouch with a guy called Matt at indyx4 in the states he knows the Troopers inside out

Cheers Smiffy between that and some figures I've found via OME's springs for the Troopers I think I've now got enough info to go ahead with my plan

Can't help with load rating, but measured one in the shed, similar to Johns, 430mm free length and 130mm external diam.

Cheers matey, think I've got all sorted now so do you know anyone who'd be interested in a pair of +2.5" Trooper Coils springs

[woodwizzard]

Is it just me or do you have a habit of posting things for sale juuust after people need'em. I would have had them if I hadn't recently put new coils and spacers on Just out of interest, how much?

To forum members they would be £135 a pair + £8.95 P&P if needed However if ordered in the next two weeks P&P would be free as I can have them sent straight from the manufacturer which will save me the additional courier costs.

Cam, when you say "Mark 4" what year is it ? They should fit all Troopers from 1993 to 2004.

its a 2001 3.0Td Lwb mate, I'll look at the funds but probably have to wait until the end of the month/ beginning of Feb

I did post this info many many moons ago, don't know if it helps, lists the OME range but no info on the 929's

Part #, Free Hight, # Coils, lbf/in spring rate, (application)

OME912, 420 mm, 10.8, 180-300 (medium load Trooper 92-02)
OME913, 390 mm, 9.3, 180-300 (medium Amigo/Rodeo 5door coil spring 98-02)
OME919, 430 mm, 10.8, 200-280 (heavy load Trooper 92-02)

bar diameter is same for each. 913 has lowest coil weight, 912 is + 0.8Kg and 919 is + 0.9Kg.

I verified the application guide is correct as it pertains to the OME912 and OME913 part numbers with a Rep at ARB-USA who cross checked for any updates.
I also cross checked in the Oct 2005 International Application guide and the specs are identical number for number, only the applications are listed as follows;

OME912 (medium load GM Frontera 95-98) and (medium Jackaroo/Monterey 92-2/2001)
OME913 (medium load GM Frontera 99+ 5 door)
OME919 (medium Jackaroo/Monterey 3/2001 - 04, Heavy load Jackaroo/Monterey 92-2/2001)

Then throw in the Lotus Bighorn in there to really make a mess of things as they were different altogether including +1" thick ARB's

Cheers for the info Gents
