Right - the list .
Ive got;
wound torsion bars
from erm... stock!
1.5" body lift
ball joint spacers
coil spacers
front ARB drop kit + diff spacers
all from www.4crawler.com
+2" rear springs
Braided brake lines
from roughtrax.
panhard rod drop bracket
rear ARB drop brackets
from Vince / bushwhacker.
4x +4" shocks ES9000
from Explorer uk
im not sure what else. that might well cover it. There will be other suppliers of those parts.
the wheels are 15" x 10" black modular from silverline they have a -32 offset
THAT is the important part. That meant the tyre sat back enough into the arch that the tyre didnt rub excessivly. I had to trim an bash some plastic an metal in the arch to gain enough clearance so the bump stop hits before the tyre on the body.
finally the BFG 35" MT which is a 34.8" tyre... a full on 35" would stuggle to fit. the Interco TSL 35" wouldn't stand a cats chance in hell of fitting under those arches.
Finally i had new brakes a few months before everything, i dont drive like a madman an the surf normally slows itself down without using the brake if you time it right! so they are all in great condition. Stopping is not a problem.
I havent tried an emergency stop but under normal road use. sorted!
Acceleration. Im not ragging it. I need to get used to it. But it seems fine. 0-30 hasn't really changed that much. Ive taken it to 50mph without any issues. Its not a sports car but i dont hold up traffic.
finally MPG - too early to tell... but probably sh!t
would i do it again??!? To this truck 100% yes. the amount of driving i do means that its not a problem.
