Hi all.

Just looking to get a new set of rear springs for my LWB and noticed there is a difference in SWB->LWB well the code is different anyway.
SWB Code= suz-008
LWB Code= suz-009

Is there a difference between the two? Thinking there might be as the -008 are shagged only after a very short amount of time on the LWB, less then a year of Road Use. I have gotten eye-eye measurements or anything to compare the two. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks Nick

The LWB rears will have a slightly higher rate because a LWB is a little heavier than a SWB.
LWB load capacity is actually less than a SWB though.

Ok thanks. Thought it was strange that they have a lower weight capacity kinda of a fuck up on Suzuki's behalf I reckon :s ill go with the correct spring as I plan on adding a bit of weight in the back any way.

Assuming we're talking king springs, Suz-008 is the code for lifted LWB springs. Suz-009 is the lifted spring for traybacks/the H/D spring for LWBs.

I had Suz-006s and they were abolute bullsht stiff, I can't imagine what an 009 is like like! 8O
