Hi Paul, arrived and fitted, soooo much easier this time, clamped the springs one side at a time and lowered the axle, just lifted out, they seat 100% better at the top, o/s is still just touching but procomps should sort that out,
i made some 1" spacers to go under the brake sensor doings to help give the break flexy plenty of play, also cut the panard rod and found a very tight fitting thick steel tube that hammers into the panard rod nicely, in the process of welding it all up, then the sensor extension bracket to make, ARB's off and it feels as stiff as a very stiff thing,
Think i'm gonna need to get a landrover fold up step thingy, i'm have ing trouble getting in

That looks so much better than first attempt.Seems the alli seats have done the job for you

[biosurf]

Cool, looking good mate.
glad they helped!

[POPEYE]

Yeah, much better seating, very pleased with them, it's odd one side just touches the shock but the other dont, maybe the axle slightly out of line? may sort it's self out when i drive it around a bit

Isn't the sping longer on one side or something? Or the truck sits lower? Something? Did I make it up?

[POPEYE]

Dont tell me i got em on the wrong way round they looked the same lenght when they were on the deck, but now you mention it i seem to remember somebody saying summat about em being "handed"

[Antony_James]

is it a thumbs up for the spring tops then (i order a set off mark yesterday) just to be safe

[biosurf]

Nope LC springs arent handed as far as I know.

I think one of the suppliers of the uprated smurf springs are

[Sancho]

That would explain it though - if one standard spring is longer than the other, then putting the same length springs on will make one appear 'too long'.

[stormforce]

the landcruiser hdj80 springs aren't handed so they will fit either side on the surf ok.Mine did the same aswell catch the shock slightly on one side

Panhard rod needs tweaking, possibly?

Tweaking? i've just welded the bugger together, it'll have to rub till i can afford the procomps, just made me think of another question, judgeing by the bit of shock thats now on show with the lift will +2" shocks be ok or will i need =3" there seems to be more than 2" of shock visible (where it's topping out, looks more like 3" to me without measureing it, if so procomps only do +2's so what other shocks are available? rancho's?

I got procomp +4's on the rear.

On the subject of the brake bias sensor arm, i just turned the bracket attatched to the adjustable panhard rod on it's side so that the arm sits more level now that there's more lift. I didn't measure anything, just raised it an inch or two. Is that right? What have other people done with it?

Where did you get the +4's from Don? i believe roughtrax only do +2"

Not entirely with you regarding the brake bias arm, i was/am intending to make a square bracket 2" higher and rebolt the arm to it, the upper brake assembly thing i felt it should be a little lower as the hose did'nt seem to have much play especially if the axle dropped a bit (like offroad)
