[surf-wejd]

cool thanks, i will pop down to halfords tomorow, and just to verify, the landcruser spring will be a direct swap for the 3" lift springs i already have?

[joker??]

The shocks came from RoughTrax's and the uprated springs were from Jokers old truck, you know the ones he had on when his truck blew up, the same ones that Toby had when his truck blew up, the same ones i had when my truck blew up, Them!!

twas the work of the devil

if you got 3" lift springs already why are you putting thre l/cruiser springs on as they are 3" lift also or are the ones you got had it.Sorry if i missed the post if its been explained already

no i just want new shinny blue springs to go with the new shinny blue and white shocks and lue boots.

is far as i remember rich, the landcruiser springs are made of thicker steel, so they are still 3" inch lift but dont "sit down" as much..

what do you mean by 'sit down'?

Sag.

Surfs have heavy a$ses so sag even lift springs after a while.

Im not aware of any off the shelf 3" lift springs for the surf. Obviously LC ones can be used. But there not off the shelf for surfs.

If your lift is ok then i wouldn't waste time changing in new springs. You wont even see them once the tyres are on. If your that bothered spend a couple of quid on some paint or something.

its the surfs sexy curves that make them so damn pretty!!

[surf-wejd]

i will be taking off my anti roll bar at the back so would there be much point using 4" shocks for better angles?

Very nice curves especially after this morning, as I know have a dent in my bonnet from me using my hilift jack and forgetting to take off the top piece and crushing the bonnet, oops!!

With LC springs, removing the ARB on the back is barely noticeable. IF the 3000's are softer, and this is a BIG if, then I'd suggest you'd be better off with 3000s because the lighter weight of the surf compared to the landcrusher barely loads the LC springs and so is pretty hard riding.

You'll want +2 or +3" longer shocks, so (and a lot of people who think there's a difference between bargain basement shocks at 10mph on green lanes will disagree) just go for whatever is in stock. ProComp are notoriosly crap at actually delivering, so if you can catch them when they've actually got something in stock, buy it.

The reason Procomp are cheap is because build quality is a bit variable and they tend to corrode. They work though, well enough for UK green laning - which brings me back to 'dont worry about the 3000 / 9000 question' because you are never gonna be stressing them that much.

<waits for the usual flak>

ok, if I do go for the procomps I will go for whichever they have.
What would your good self go for in the shock range and what springs, i think you said lc80's but I cant find them anywhere
