anyone here changed their own springs?

at the bottom of the frame ,slide lever in/under and lift the rubber flap over the lip,,,

Hi Team,
Today i took the family for an outing to Captain Cooks cottage ,from Coburg,,

My neighbour is a 4x4 mech. so he changes the oil and more importantly gets rid of the old oil,but he puts in ...

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,,

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 ...

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 ...
