sagging ares

[lukenemma]

just noticed my beloved truck is sagging so in need of some spring's if any one has and cheap need then quite soon as going off road on the 27th

Roughtrax +2" coils, about £70 dude. And spot on

[lukenemma]

just aint done a lift on the front before how hard is it to do and what tools do you need ?

[Albannach]

There are no springs on the front.

you dont help yourself do you

I can't help noticing that you want everything 'cheap' mate. Let me offer some friendly advice, these trucks by nature are expensive to run. If you're lucky there may be a forum member who has a paricular part you require, if not I'm afraid you have to buy new and that's hardly ever cheap.

It's all part and parcel of Surf ownership I'm afraid, you can either afford to run one or not. Second hand springs are normally a poor investment, unless they have been taken off to modify the suspension, even then they will be worn.

If you do fit new springs they will be rear only as the front is lifted by adjusting the torsion bars, do a search for all the info you need.

Rough Trax +2" springs then wind up front torsion bars to match - cheap(ish) and easy!

It makes the rear end stop sagging and makes it firmer!

It's not your spelling, it's your geography that's the problem just now. You say your truck has a saggy arse and needs new springs on the front.

That makes no sense.

That doesn't make much more sense to be honest. There is no need to touch the torsion bars when changing the rear springs. If you fit LC springs or +2" springs, you need to do more than just wind up torsion bars to suit; especially as the truck goes off-road.

thats what i have done with no problems,and 33" tyres fitted

[greeley]

do landcruiser springs lift the surf or just better quality than standard springs?

The pale blue ones lift it by about 3".
