Suspension/body Lifts Info!!!!!!

[Albannach]

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).

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?

[stormforce]

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

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.

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

Why did you take it off?

[goodcat]

Why did you take it off?

i couldnt drop the axel otherwise? well that what my mate said so that what we did?

There's at least 3 other ways. Use compressors and don't take anything off, don't take the Panhard Rod off, or get someone who knows how to do it to do it.

thanks for your smart arse reply as always mate.

my mate is a mechanic and he said to drop the axel he had to disconect one end of the rod.

Right, lets assume you've taken everything, bar the Panhard rod, off. What will happen when you lower the axle?

And, did you load everything before you tightened it all up?

looking back at the pics i took i cant see why it wouldnt drop?? i just went by what he said. there must have been a reason. he isnt stupid. maybe it was how and where we had jacked it up? god knows mate. im sure your right though.
ill remember that for next time!

and yes i did tighten all the lines and clips etc before we did all the main bits back up.
