front suspension lift

[Wild Thing]

Going to lift the front suspension this weekend, can anyone tell me roughly how many turns on the bolts I need to lift it 1 1/2"

measure the ride height b4 you start.measure from the rim to the wheel arch both sides.i marked the bolt and frame so i knew how many full turns each time the lines lined up.
when i did mine i cranked up each one about 8 full turns of the bolt then took the surf for a quick spin to settle the suspension and then re-measure and adjust again to the required amount if needed.Make sure you jack the front end so the wheels are completely off the ground

Thanks Richard
I've no trouble doing the job, already sprayed the bolts with WD40, just being a bit lazy wanting to know how many turns on the bolts to save me jacking it up and letting it down to many times.
Have ordered new rear springs from Milners and spacers off Danno, hopefully they will be here for the weekend so i can fit them then lift the front.

Thanks once again Richard

Thanks once again Richard

i got to crank my front end up a bit as ithink it's too low

[Wild Thing]

Just measured mine, drivers side 21 1/2", passengers side 22" so that means I need to crank it up 1 1/2" drivers side and 1" passengers side

[Wild Thing]

Back ones are drivers side 19" passengers 19 1/2"

by the time you got some new springs on there it should bring it back to standard on the rear as i would say you got a saggy arse on there at the mo
unless your getting lift springs of course

[Wild Thing]

Its got a very saggy arse at the mo but I've ordered milners 20% stronger springs and spacers off Danno, so job should be a good un with any luck cos I must get it done for the RTTS

[Chillitt]

mines got 2 week old milners hd springs on the back, 20 1/2 rear, 21 1/2 front

[Wild Thing]

that should Bring it about right when I put the 2" spacers in as well then bring the front up to match

[stormforce]

I've got the 2" lift springs on mine and it is 21 1/2 on the rear and mine had a bit of a sag on it but not much b4 i put them on
