Pics of 2" rear springs and lights fitted

I run rough country shocks, keep them standard size on the front because they are bolted between the top and bottom wishbones you will not get anything bigger in there that will give you full bump and droop without bottoming out.

Ok didn't realise that, i was looking at the ones off roughtrax which are +2in all round ,
so ill keep standard size replacements on front and +2in rears or won't it matter that much on the back either ?
As for the 1.5in spacers I'm back offshore on tuesday for 2 weeks so if u do have the time to make a set up that would be great ! how much we looking at ?

yes was keeping an eye on the cvs when adjusting the bars but the angle doesn't look to bad at the mo so should be ok so
i think I'm gonna order 4 of these sets which will be 40mm or 1.57 inches which should be spot on then slacken off the bars to correct height oh then the tracking camber again lol
what shocks would you recommend ?

Its the cv angle you have to watch more than anything else, a diff drop kit helps but defeats the aim of lifting for clearance, 1 1/2 as you say is more appropriate,

This is our old website , go to the parts page and down in the bottom right of the screen is a picture of our balljoint spacers, you might be able to get an engineering firm to knock a set or two up, if you give me a few weeks I might be able to machine a set up myself if you want

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-hil...item4cfb70c4e3 have found some spacers here, not our ones but they are justcas good.

Yea i see them as well but i just liked the idea of solid plates rather than them as they looked abit like a school project lol that piece of steel that runs opposite the hole doesn't look to great to me but maybe I'm just being picky lol
just found these tho

Lol I use to co own outrageous offroad.We were the first company I believe to come up with the laminated style ball joint spacers, you bought them in sets of ten, Each spacer was 6mm thick, so you could add as many as you liked. Now I'm pretty sure other companies have nicked the idea.

Ha thieving internet blighters ! so I've been reading up a lot on this and came to the conclusion that 1 1/2in bj spacers should be good enough to take a bit of stress off the t bars to maintain a bit off flex when going off road
basically i want to end up with 2in suspension lift 2in body lift and 33s I've just bought them 8j wheels with a 0 offset so I'm guessing i will need some spacers once i get 33s?

it does, i never liked the yellow indicators, thats a to do on mine eventually

Makes it look more up to date well worth the money , still waiting for the front clear bumper indicators to turn up lol

Oh gutted ! tho I think a couple hundred may have been a few to many for what I need lol
Just can't seem to find 2" ball joint spacers lol must not be looking hard enough 😁

actually,that is before polishing,that finish is just 800 grade wet & dry!
as for the offset,i really don't know what that means! but i know they came off a surf, and it says 7JJ and -5. offset on the back of the wheel if thats any help.

kinda got me worried,now. don't really want to have to make up any spacers.
just finished making a load of them for an MG !!

they will look a treat once there done! top job ! you will have to post some pics when u fit them,
wouldn't worry to much about the offset basically if its a - or negative offset it means the wheel will stick out further from the hub so the larger the - offset the further the wheel will stick out giving a wider track
my standard rims say 8 offset which i guess is positive (without measuring them) but theres no + or - markings so correct me if I'm wrong
looks like I've bought them wheels lol should be going to pick them up tomoz !
Road trip !!

Wow They come up a treat and look well nice !
what is the offset of those scott as I've been reading up that 0 offset isn't good on a surf but I suppose I could get some spacers aswell lol 😃
