Only Buy genuiine LR Springs
I have two Nada 1967 109 Station Wagon. Blue is very heavy 109 with full fuel and roof rack from Brown Church.
I fatten the heavy staion rears, and replaced with one ton spring. In the front I the heavy front springs on the left and right side. Why I due have 2.6L Rover F-head and Warn winch up front
See Terri_Ann website for the proper part numbers. The one ton springs only have one part number
On Tan Rover, 109 Station Wagon 2.6. F-head. I still run heavy front springs on left and right side.
You must replace all bushing including the frame bushing. Lot's of work, worth it!
I would only buy the Pro Comp Explorer Shock set from Rocky Mountain. No sure RN has the same part number or not
I have bought springs in country and have imported too..
Not not go cheap. My rears lasted one trip!

I'm not a fan of parabolics because their construction increases side sway and wheel hop off road. Finding good quality steel springs that don't go flat is getting to be a problem. Make an effort to locate new Genuine Land Rover springs. They will be more expensive but will work better and last longer. I don't know if our host carries them, but I'm pretty sure that Pangolin 4X4 has them in stock.
The purpose of shocks is to dampen spring oscillation. How much shock you need depends upon the your spring's characteristics and what kind of surface you drive over. If your truck feels really bouncy stiffer shocks might help. If it feels overly stiff, less stiff shocks might help. Personally I'm running OME shocks in genuine LR leaf springs.
