After my 2" suspension lift & 2" body lift I've added a set of 285/75/16 tyres to the Surf.

The problem is my new tyres now rub on the front inner arch (above mud flap).

I hope to rectify the problem by buying and installing:

1" spring spacer at rear
3" panhard drop kit


Please can someone let me know the quickest way i can find these parts?

(i already have thicker torsion bars for the front end which i can wind up a little)

im think ive got that rubber on my 16" and i dont get a rubbing... are they non toyota wheels? do they need spacers instead? ya know, like move them out away from the car a bit.

Hehe! 4Crawler seems a good place to get parts but I know it will just take so long to get here..

Would anyone do these parts in the UK?

[virgo]

I did contemplate that but they rub on the outer part of the tyre... which means if i space them outwards they would rub even more when i turn...

Front rubbing? How is all the rear stuff you're buying/fitting gonna solve that?

[surfenstein]

so youve done a 4" lift then how come they still rub.surely thats not right is !it.

[virgo]

because it only rubs when i go over a bump &v when the steering is at a particular angle. So a slight height adjusment on the front will fix the problem (as well as stiffer torsion bars) but leave the rear end look saggy compared to the front...

I've figured i need landcruiser springs at the rear which will lift 3" instead of the 2" inch extra on the ones i have on there. These 2" lift springs will be for sale once i fit the LC ones..

I know...thats what I thought. I presumed a 4" lift would give me plenty clearance. I've lifted the front proportionate to the front but it still doesn't look as high as I thought it would

land cruiser springs will give you at least 4" to 5" of lift on the rear.then you need to adjust torsion bars and fit diff and ball joint spacers on the front.

this is starting to sound expensive.
