Springs question

[Ian82]

Thanks again chaps, i'm thinking i will order these up and maybe have a bash at it myself!

it should only take 30-45 mins to swap the springs over and to re-fit the bump stops.Why not ask on here if anyone near you has got any compressors and would like to give a hand.You would probably have to keep them supplied in bacon sarnies and tea/coffee but alot of people on here are willing to help others.
I drove to Poole several weeks ago so that Vatchman and the lovelyboyo could fit my lift kits for me

undo the bottom shock bolts pull the shocks off from the bottom spindle ,jack the rear body up and remove the panhard rod bolt. ,and kick the spring off,if your bump stops are hanging off,you shouldnt have a problem.reverse the process for re fitting,its as easy or as hard as that.p.s dont let richard any where near your truck as he is followed by the phantom bolt snapper.

Thought that would be a bit cheeky for a newbie like myself to ask! Wouldnt want to put anyone out. I'm happy enough to take it to a garage for now, Theres a garage near me that fitted a CV boot for me and they are pretty good.

hi ian
fitted milners 20% stronger on mine, same thing saggy arse and all that. took about 90 mins inc tea sarnies etc, lifted back end about 40-50ml just the job.

Hi Ian where abouts in Herts are you ??

[Ian82]

Hi guys, got the springs delivered this morning. Gonna have a look at them at lunch and see what the deal is. I'm a bit worried now about the bump stops though. I know they are bolted to the chasis some how but as they are just rattling about inside the springs at the mo I assume I have lost the bolts or something? Milners and Roughtrax dont seem to sell them, any ideas?

Cheers

if there's no bolts in the bump stops then you should be able to buy long enough bolts from a hardware place

[jotto]
