Phew!! L/C springs on

[stormforce]

If the l/cruiser springs you got are the hd j80's then the +2" shocks will be to short.You ideally need the +3's min for these springs

Av got sum LC springs to fit aswell



am reading up as much as i can finding out exaclty wot i need, i would hate to strip it all and then realise once its up on jacks am missing sumthin ,,,

didnt know about those ally spring tops you and stien have been talking about, thats something i need to pm him about ...

I got my Pro comp shocks the other day, i got the +2" ones but they dont look that big at all, infact they look quite small, the LC springs look FAR too big for them ???

Sh*t




...

Av got the LJD80s ... I was told these would cope !

...

If this a case of ( U must get the +3 or a case of +3 would work better ) propcomp dont do a 3 i would have to go to rancho or sumthin or OME

[stormforce]

I don't know what size the ljd80's are but the hd j80's are a +3" lift on them so you may be ok with the ljd80's with the +2" shocks

Sh*t

Sorry, av got the hd J80s (the 3") and i have just recieved my procomp 2" shocks

wupps

[stormforce]

It will pay to see if they will exchange the shocks for the +3's.They may charge a bit more but it will be worth it in the end.

[Antony_James]

They dont do the +3's they only go up to 2 ...

Al have to phone them tomorow and see if they can get 3s... If not see if they owuld be kind enough to exchange them for torsion bars ...


Dang

[stormforce]

i got 5" lift on my truck and i never changed the torsion bars.They can be a sod to fit tho.I bought a 2" suspension lift for my old 2.4 and i won't fit the torsion bars again unless its absolutely neccessary.
If someone can get you the serial number or whatever number is on the shocks then you should be able to get the +3's easy enough

[Antony_James]

Thanks,,, al give them a ring tomorow an see what they can do

if i was able to get the numbers off of my shocks then i would for you but they are caked in mud and got a bit of surface rust on them

Ive got +4" pro comps on mine mate, They do them!

Also DONT get uprated torsion bars. There hard as feck! Not needed if your just lifting. If your lifting and putting a winch and winch bumper on then its reccommended.

[sledge]

i got a winch and never needed them just used BJ spacers instead

Replace the diesel lump with an all aluminum engine, makes the stock torsion bars much stiffer.

I feel a little dispondant now after reading all this, seems i've fitted l/c springs that may or may not pop out the top mounts, may or may not pass the mot, springs look bent and the shocks may be no good now, mainly why i asked the double checking question, as i understood it if i refitted the old shocks they may bottom out off road, well as i aint planning on going off road yet i thought they'd do till i could afford new ones for the rear, in the pic the bottoms aint connected up yet, was going to finish it off today, but now not sure what the f##k to do, finish off or refit the old springs, as it was there was enough room for the 33's on the back, bl00dy front end went like a dream but the back giveing me an headache,

[surfenstein]

Scuse my ignorance Ian, but do you have +2" shocks on with those L/C springs, cos biosurf's springs didn't look all bent like that when we did them a few weeks ago! ( and we didn't use the alloy locators at the top either as they didn't fit properly!)
Just an observation ( hope it doesn't sound critical)

Alan

what alloy locators were you using,they couldnt of been mine????

Chill Ian, you've done nothing wrong. The springs won't pop out, they sometimes don't sit properly in the cups but that only happens when off-roading when the axle articulates.
The stock shocks can be used, but will be fully extended all the time as the L/C springs will be forcing them apart. You will only notice this when driving over speedbumps etc. Just chuck a couple of bags of cement in the cargo area until you get new shocks.
