i didnt know about only 1.5 " on the front bars

you can crank them 2" but like i say it will cause excessive wear on the cv's which for the sake of 1/2" is it worth it

Iv just been reading on the toyotasurf site and from the loks of it if you put spacers on the diff and cross member i would be able to lift it to 3"
sounds good fun

i have got 1" diff spacers fitted on mine just to ease the strain off of the front end a bit but i have got 5" lift and 33's on

[stormforce]

first pic with 5" lift and 31's on and the 2nd pic with the 33's on

just for everything for the lifts it cost me about £550 and i have spent since the lift about £1000 on tyres, wheels and stainless exhaust

Is that a 3" body and 2" suspension lift? Looks pretty good to me,

Cheers, Nick

[stormforce]

its a 2" body and 3" suspension.i would like to go a bit higher and regear the truck so i can fit 35's but that will be in the future sometime

How did you get the 3" of suspension lift? What springs, shocks etc?

Cheers, Nick

[stormforce]

i used the milners landcruiser hd j80 springs that give the 3" lift with es3000 +3" shocks on the rear
1.5" balljoint spacers on the front with es3000+3" shocks
1" diff spacers
2" bodylift
extended braided brakelines and the panhard drop bracket
and both anti roll bars removed
i have also cranked the t/bars 1.5"

[Nick V]

I know that a lot of people have removed the a/roll bars, but how is the handling affected, especially with the lift - or should I say, has it made it much worse?

Cheers, Nick

[stormforce]

the springs are stiffer but there is a bit more body roll but you get used to that and know the limits of the truck.I quite like the extra body roll especially the looks on other drivers faces while going round roundabouts or cornering when the truck leans righ over

[gwh200]

i get that rich.i have the same lift as you,same size tyres as well,and damm some other drivers nigh on poo em selves when they think the trucks going to fall over on them !!

[stormforce]

once you gone round a corner and the other drivers see the truck lean over they certainly keep their distance after
