Yes I think your right, torsion bars definitely as mine are jacked up, I think there's one more component involved with the springs, some sort of spacer, but I may be wrong (it has been known)
I'm sure a veteran will be here soon to give you a solid yes lolYes it's a V8, don't you know I'm loco? -
Speaking as a veteran and a tax payer yup! LC springs (I got from Milner) will fit on a Surf, BUT you will need the alloy or hard nylon top seating or the springs pop out of line and hit the damper/shock absorber, (found that out the hard way), I managed on my todd but with someone and a length of 4x2 you can drop the olduns out and wangle the new ones in , body jacked right up with the axel hanging an the shocks disconnected, I didn't do the torsion bars so mine has a drooping front end but not too bad as I did a body and sus lift, 5" on the back and 4" on the front,Too young to die and too old to give a tossComment

As Ian says above (Similar) I fitted 20% Milners Rear springs (about 1" of Lift)Originally posted by POPEYE View Post
If ya have an underslung spare you can use that as a Jacking point, with a rear wheel on the ground (underneath ya spare) with a plank on top of the floor wheel/tyre ya Surf jack will be suffient, a plank of wood on top of ya Jack up against ya underslung spare n ya can Jack as much as ya need n wiggle ya old springs out, I used a Scaffold pole for prying all on me jack jones too.. Ian
Wind up ya Torsion bars n away ya go..
15+ Years of Surfs .... n Faultless to a "T" is my Yota !! So I got another ....
