thanks guys,, will be changing the coils tomorrow,,, all points noted,, a lucky story about a lada niva,, i still have the coffin on wheels but i was changing the front rhs drive axel as it snapped, i read the procedure and went to play,,two wish bone set-up the lada has,mine has no front sway bar ...

anyone here changed their own springs? is it true that i only have to undo the bottom shock mount and jack up the chasis?? what about the swar bars drop them or not?? i've heard stories of guys getting their faces ripped off from playing with springs so how's the danger factor? thanks in advance ...

from the inside with a lever (screw driver),,, at the bottom of the frame ,slide lever in/under and lift the rubber flap over the lip,,, you'll have to inch along lifting bit by bit while holding the already fipped over part until you get the pressure off, mine were that rusty i ask my kid to open ...

Dirtpigs,, Can you please tell me what size tyres you have there on that whitebeast and what you did re suspension,,i've been reading heaps but only have 2" on the sus. at this stage,,trying to get an idea of what 33" tyres look like on someones truck,,most pics are of 35's and i only want to goto ...

Hi Team, Today i took the family for an outing to Captain Cooks cottage ,from Coburg,, On the way home selecting down to third was not possible and evem into second more difficult. My neighbour is a 4x4 mech. so he changes the oil and more importantly gets rid of the old oil,but he puts in Morrey's ...

Thanks guys,
I should of commented but i meant the factory disconnect handle in the cabin,,
I've got a 2"coil lift on my lwb gq and from i read in the thread off road i should pull use the lever to save stress on the sway bar its self,,
thanks for the advise
great information
Scruffy

could some one give me a few pointers on where not to use the disconnect rear swaybar handle,
a mate has said not on angles as the vehicle will tend to roll,,
any other opinions please,
thanks inadvance

thanks guys, thats the web page i've been looking at too, any thoughts on tyres re 15" or 16" rims,from what i understand 16" rim tyre is slightly skinnier,i'm thinking the slightly wider tyre on a 15" rim would compensate for the extra height??? my 89 gq lwb gets used for lots of highway time at ...

i was looking at just replacing the rubbers around the spacers,but after reading many posts on bodylifts i am now contemplating putting a 1" body lift over my 2"coil lift and running 33" tyres,, if i do the above will i have to do anything else,?(hope not) with the above in mind, 33" tyres over 15 ...
