the best way to do a lift?

[goodcat]

u all keep beating me to replying! makes me look like im asking questions that have allready been answered! lol

[BioHazard]

lol well when i bout my ssr-x last week i never really planned on taking it off road. more of a allternative to the transit for work now n then.
but since going off road earlier 2day (despite getting stuck 4 an hour!) im now hooked and want to only drive off road and kill small animals that get in my way and scare old people!

cheers for ur reply albannach m8.

does any1 know who is the cheapest suppliers of all the necessery kit? ta.

For quality and vfm stein for spacers and bispoke stuff, roughtrax for quailiy, and milners fror the 20% stronger springs

[RodLeach]

Right 2"coil spacers from stein (£100) bodylift (£100) strenghtened springs from milners (£50)...........and options of a diff drop kit and manual locking hubs (saves cv joints)

By the time youve got £150+delivery on the springs an spacers its better to just chuck in the roughtrax springs. Quality springs, no sign of sagging yet. give a great ride with some ES9000's along side.

mine didnot survive that well .........they are saggy as hell now(the spacers kept the lift) but i have used the truck for carting heavy loads about it depends on the every day use

[goodcat]

yeah pretty much nailed it mate

Get some +2" springs from www.roughtrax4x4.co.uk (hope thats the right addy) an then get some ball joint spacers from whoevers doing them here or www.4crawler.com if thats back online. that will sort you out, a small tweak on the bars will give the full 2" sus lift.


an again 2" spacers for the body lift from either 4crawler or whoevers doing them.

full 4" lift an then you can chuck on some 33"s

still a tad confused m8. sorry to keep asking dumb questions but the coils and spacers are the suspension lift right so what would be involved with the body lift? i thought this was loads of brackets that go bewtween the chassy and body?
cheers m8.

Body lift is basically spacers between the body and the chassis (with longer bolts)

Don't get hung up on the body lift, that's the easy bit.

Hi Jaime

Good to see you on the forum so soon. Glad you got back ok and are going for the lift!

Once you've got your ride pimped let me know if you fancy doing the rest of the lane. Its good fun, challenging but doable!

Did you have the new ones from sweden?! They changed them a lil while back. I can't comment on quality of the other springs but the current ones are spot on.
