There is a thread running in general at present were a member is in contact with a spring manufacturer direct to develop a set of rear springs . Once fitted to rear you may acheive a added lift to front by winding up the torsion bars , but replacement torson bars with lift may be the best answer .

Bobo,
you done your torsion bars yet?

[metalbirdy]

The problem with the current available +2" lift springs is that they are not uprated. So, with a small load the back end sags and of course towing is not good unless you like driving boats. Thats why alot of ppl but the uprated Milners coils but htese have no lift. So soon i'll be having made +2" coils with an uprated loading similar of that to the Milners coils if thats clear???

I'll post info (and no doubt be asking for more help!) as I make progress
and hopefully through my experiences be able to offer help to others in future

Hi DOG BOOK do you know, or have any idea when the uprated 2''lift springs are likly to be ready for purchase.

[Dog_Book]

Once ive taken some more pics (this weekend i hope) and got final ppl who want them it will take max 6 weeks for order to go through. That is of course if everyone pays on time

The thread is running here..... http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17827

Ive just got to take final measurements now with standard coils and agree with everyone the new spec of the +2" coils. As Milners coils are 190lbs and mine will be either 160lb or 165lb. This is because i put 180lb coils in and the back end is too hard, way too hard yet when i goy 160 ones made it was hard but retained a good ride and carryied load well.
