It's all coming together

[Delboy]

I'm in the process of doing a 2" suspension lift on my Surf and i'm getting quite excited about it. I have nearly all the pieces.
- 1.5" Balljoint spacers for the front
- 2" Procomp Lift Springs for the back
- Got some second hand 33x12.5r15 Courser Radial Lt's
- And just ordered four 15x8 Chrome 8 spoke steel wheels
Will fab up a bracket to raise the LSPV arm after the lift to bring it back to normal. I will probably do a write up on this one, if anyone is interested ). Will use this thread for updates. Combined wth my 1" body lift and a slight torsion bar crank, i will get 3" of lift and probably another 2 fom the tyres.

Will do!

Definatly want to see some pics, of befor and after shots with a rating of the difference in handling etc. Good luck and may all your nuts loose'n easily.

Just when I was getting near your floor, you jump in the lift and go higher

Good luck

Cheers Guys! Doin' this on the cheap Jim. Still cost me around €850 for the lot. Wanted 33's for a long, long time! They are well worn, actually only measure 31.5" at the moment. Still have 1/2" of tread left on them. Will do till i can save for new Muddies.

The diff gearing...are you gonna say 'dont go there James' if I mention it ???

[Delboy]

Dont go there James! I'll see how bad it is and then i will worry about it. Dont think it will be as bad with a manual gearbox and i'm willing to take that chance!

[Cmar]

Off topic, but when are we meeting up again lads???

[Delboy]

After me and Jim have our lifts done! Back on topic. Was messing around a bit to see what the new shoes look like.

[JimL]

Big it up to the Delboy



(what does that mean ??)

[Cmar]

It's gonna look awesome Derek, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh

[Delboy]

Cheers Ciaran. We will all have to meet up soon. I heard about an off roading site in Aughrim called 'Tuff Terrains'. Supposed to very good.

Jim. I think i know what you mean. "Big it up". That could be the new Yotasurf slogan.

Thay all go out in their X9's and drive around a rugby pitch. Then pass the keys to their man servant to wash the grass off and drink champagne & pims 'till dark.
