What is this Defender suspension ....?

[MaverickV12]

Recently on holiday and saw this .....



and this .....



It looked wicked ....

Anyone tell me what it is ....?

Obviously got the word Fox written all over it, but don't know if that's their own stickers or some foreign make?

Thanks

Thanks for that guys.

I want to stiffen my Defender up, if I can. Before you all fall off your mud pluggers in disgust ..... I use my Defender a lot, but it is for towing and snow, off road, I do use it, but articulation is never a problem, traction is always the issue. I use for it transporting kids all over the place as well.

So its road use and flat off road and traction on snow.

How could I make the suspension more road friendly?

I use these in the snow ...... they are brilliant and have chains but never used the chains



These Khumo's are my everyday tyre, love them to

If I am going to make my snow traction worse, then I'd rather do nothing. I'm looking for a Norway trip in jan/feb 2015 and snow traction will be vital then.

I also love the MT's as on the odd occasion I can be 750 miles from home and find myself down some stoney trail, the last thing I want is some road tyres with, "Puncture me", written all over it ....

off road is rare, snow and towing a must, but road use mostly (whilst full of kids)

Would Air-Suspension be a consideration, can I adjust them myself from within the car, low for motorway use, high for normal/off road and snow?

or is it cost in-effective

are you looking for less wallowing?

Thank you C Lee, I will give it some research.

The tyre pressures are really high in any event, compared to other cars they are atmospherical. Personally, I'm running something like 60 psi at the rear and 50 at the front. Most of the time the car is loaded, but I think that even 60 is low it should be 62 or 65, I forget.

My other cars are running 32/32psi, 32/36psi, so 50/60

Springs, shocks and anti-roll bar, ok..... what about the bushes ? Some people seem to make play that the bushes can be changed and the, "whole car handles differently".

Views on Bushes???
