Why did you take it off?

because i didnt use spring compressors to get the springs on.
had to drop the axel insted.
wish i had'nt now!

the only hard thing about it was getting the panhard rod back in! jesus that was a bitch to do!

[goodcat]

just done my suspension lift today! was fun and pretty simple.
oh and for the record....you CAN use the LC shocks aswell as the LC springs.
they fit perfectly and they i can still controll them using the suspension button on the dash.
sweet.
but yes they are VERY stiff so be warned! ride comfort has suffered a little bit. BUT LOOKS THE NUTS!
was very impressed that i got the full +4" lift from them! cant belive how high it is now! lol
i took loads of pics and will do a full write up if people want.

all this talk of body lifts has got me wanting to do it where can i get them from? is milner the only place in the UK that does them?

yeah as Rich said, either ebay or there are a few people on here that sell them. you can try Danno, Surfstien and i think TonyN does them?
the blocks and longer bolts are only about £70 or around there.

la supertrux do them but they are the more exspensive ones.
You can buy the stuff for the spacers on ebay cheap enough and make it yourself

where did you get our procomps mate? had a look on LA supertrux but the rears are £123! that the ES 9000's though.

Roughtrax I think. There's (was) a problem with Procomp's importer though, not sure if it was sorted out. Have a look at OME too, there's a thread just below this with OME in the title (I've not looked at it though).

As far as I'm aware, the LC ones won't fit (although I've not tried!).

I use +3" Procomps, about £35 each corner.

cool and thanks.

i was concerned id have to modify all manner of things to accomplish the mod.

Just follow the instructions on here somewhere (remember to slacken the 3 steering column bolts and the fuel filler hose).

so...on topic i hope...

i have LC springs on the rear of my 2nd gen. im unsure if the front TBs have been wound up but it looks ok to me.

what do i have to consider in order to perform a 2" body lift given my current setup?

Nothing, the 2 are mutually exclusive.

Inside? They don't go inside the springs. Where did you get that idea from? LC shock absorbers won't fit a Surf.

EDIT: Did you actually read/look at what you posted in your guide?

no not inside! lol sorry. behind and below them then. fcuk knows why i said that. thats not my belief at all! lol

and yes, your quite right. LC shocks wont fit on the surf. i got confused somewhere along the line. they will need to buy either +2" or +3" shocks to go with the LC springs.

[Albannach]

firstly, what do you mean the shocks wont fit?! are you saying that i cant fit landcruiser shocks inside my landcruiser springs?
