LA Supertrux

[BioHazard]

I've emailed them this morning to ask about booking my truck in, and letting them do a sweet suspension lift and set up for me. Its needing shocks now I think and it just feels a bit sloppy, want to get it back to being ace!
I can't actually believe how many people I get staring at it in the street when it's clean, mainly the tyres, but I love it! They're probably looking and thinking "talk about polishing a turd"!

So has anyone had any work done with them or know anything?
I know they have a good reputation.. M

Time to chuck more money at her!! ;-)

I think you will find LAS has stopped trading as Nigel wanted to spend more time with his BIGFOOT commitments ..........


As stated if you do not feel able to do it your self OR get some help from local members .... 4x4toys or outrageous would be your best bet

Thanks lads, for the, er, very clear advise!! Haha, brilliant. That's exactly why I love this forum!

I can and have done everything myself, but just want it to be spot on ya know, always think I'm prob doin it wrong!

Cheers for the heads up fellas.

If anyone wants to offer advise and help on what to get then feel free.

I need;
Shocks - which?
Bj spacers
LC springs + seat

Prob more also

Where are Dr Anglegrinder and Surfenfudgepacker when you need them ???

I've recently fitted LC springs from Milners,and I'm fairly sure my mate Yoshie said he'd fitted them without spring locators and he'd had no problems with all the abuse he'd thrown at them(I'm sure he'll be along shortly to throw some abuse at me),so I've fitted with out them,and don't seem to be having any problems as yet! I will fit longer shocks later when I've got some dosh spare,and possibly fit BJ spacers,but with the front wound up she sits fairly level,and is certainly not sloppy.
I loaded my trailer with 50m² of oak flooring today and the nose wheight miust have been well in excess of 100 KGs and the rear hardly dropped.
All in all I'd say I'm very happy with the road manors and the look.

Your welcome.

Just as a price comparison - I'm pretty certain that LA Supertrux used to sell a 2" body lift kit on fleabay for about £300+. Xpajun do one that should be just as good for a smidge over £60.

To be fair the body lift for LAS was 3" and nice shaped anodised alloy blocks, which needs alot more parts than just 2", and the Xpajun kit is only blocks and bolts, no bumper or rad brackets. Despite Xpajun 3" ad you can't fit 3" without new fuel filler and breather hose, steering extensions, shifter extensions, etc.....

You don't NEED spring seats, but its nicer with them, they arn't a very good fit over the location cones and can move around alot.

It works, but if you can make a better job of it why not?

Very true Tony! My reason at this time is purely financial.They are quite expensive IIRC,but I may fit them later when I change the shocks.The mrs is still reelling from the shock of the new head!!!
