And now it seems to me that it is not only the police and transport department we have to worry about !!!! Took my car for a wheel alignment and wheel balance last week and today I get a notice from the transport department saying my car has been reported having a excessive lift and oversized tyres ...

Hi Jordy, This is correct You will find it hard to get a roady for a 5 inch lift !! 50mm or 2 inch max in QLD.

Mate have a look at www.bolsys.com.au there are some pics on there !! Great products I have a set of his sliders on my GU and I can tell you they have paid for themselves already. Very well priced and a great guy to deal with.

Cheers

Agreed two hammers is the only way I know how to do it !!!!

Here is a couple of links

i'm so sorry to ask

Don't be sorry you asked cos if you don't ask you don't get an answer.
BUT what the guys are saying is that there are so many questions from new guys relating to 35" tyres and/or suspension lifts, turbo's etc, that have already been answered in previous threads. Go through the ...

Have a bit of a look at this thread !! The 4 inch flexys sit quite high !!!

i just got a 4.2 and nothing goes wrong at all ,couldnt be happier.. bit more out of pocket up front but ill be the one seeing 700,000 kms before i need to do anything major. =] oh and btw today a series 4 got towed in to work with hole in piston syndrome and a perfect service history...... just ...

Yeah mate they will fit with out a lift. I ran 305/70/16 on my wagon before I got my lift !! 285/75/16 are 33s as are 305/70/16 which are 33x12.5.

Shop around for price though as they sound a little expensive.

It seems there is a bit of confusion in regards to the flexy coils. I too was a bit confused at first as I thought they were just a soft coil. Wrong !!! The flexy part of the coil is at the top of the coil which allows more down travel. I have taken a pic to show the coil in the front. The great ...

uptravel is only changed if you lengthen your bump stop or your shock is so long that it acts as the bumpstop so if you haven't done anything there then uptravel should remain standard.

Don't doubt the drop out cones don't work - they have a purpose and they do as intended. Definately not ...

It depends on the situation. I ran dropout cones on my first Safari so I could run long shocks, but could get no further than I could with shorter shocks. As soon as I was at the point where the coil was moving away from the chassis, there was no downward pressure on that wheel, so having the ...

Good point Yom. Also Shane, why aren't there flexy coils for the front? Wouldn't they be a good match for the flex arm? Or am I jumping the gun and you have things in the pipeline?
its like the people with +5" lifts who just go and do beachwork.

im pretty sure flex is like lift. apparently the ...

does that extra flex actually get you any further though?

i mean, your front moves no better than stock. kind of defies the point of upgrading the suspension if you only focus on the rear. may as well get an IFS vehicle and have the same articulation but more comfort.

not trying to offend you ...

chunks wrote:Nice flex mate, what length are your shocks?

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you chunks !!

The rear shock eye to eye is 828mm and compressed 502mm Stroke 326mm

And the fronts are pin to pin 619mm and compressed 380mm Stroke 239mm

I hope that helps
Cheers
Shane

[/quote]with the drop out cones are they noisey when the coils drop. I have 3" coils + 1" spacer and need new shocks so thinking of going this option with longer shocks[/quote]


Yeah you can hear the coils when they drop out and relocate but it is not that bad. But then again it may annoy some ...

Have a look on Shane from suspension stuffs website there is a pic of a drop out cone. These are a weld in item and it allows you to run longer shocks so the coils can drop out and relocate themselves but you will need coil retainers on the bootom of your coils which Shane can also supply.

Shock lengths seem to be fine in the rear could go a little longer but then this will effect the up travel i feel. Mind you i very rarely got a wheel off the ground !! I did manage to lift a rear wheel up camp road but did try to put it in the biggest ruts up there. Drove old hilux hill no worries ...

I have been goin to the park for just over 2 years now and my opinion is.
Anyone that wants to go out there get on the piss (cant handle there piss) and act like absloute d#&k heads need to wake up to themselves.
The last thing i and everyone else wants is for the police to be at every event held ...

The LSD is removed to fit the air locker ! Dont regret having the air locker in the rear at all. Yes and they are much better than the auto lockers as you can turn them on and off when needed. But the auto lockers do work well as a locker !! Go the air locker in the rear you will not regret it ...

$19500, 03 3lt. 60000kms, winch, dual batteries, rhino rack, IPF, Dual spare carrier, UHF.
Immac cond.
Became mine 4 months ago.

The 3lt can be looked after, just add the right gauges, drive properly and be aware of the issue/s.[/quote]


Good buying at that price. This is what you would expect to ...

What year has it got on the compliance plate ??? I paid 23k for my 2004 st with 100000 on the clock. A lot of people are going to bag the 3.0lt due to the earlier ones blowing up !!! I think it was 02 when they came out with the improved 3.0lt.

Cheers

Being toyota tech I would assume they are Longfields 30 spline superset axles and cvs. Just sold my lux but would be good buying at that price !!!

Hi shane, will be taking the gu up to LMP this weekend and will give the 4inch flexys a good work out. Bump stops are in and working well, 100mm was spot on ! will get some good pics and send them to you and give you some feedback. Got the ARB lockers in aswell

For around that sort of money I would go the Boss Adjustables. In my opinion these are much better than Rancho.See Shane from suspension stuff on here or look at his site. suspensionstuff.com.au

Will get some better pics as had no bump stops in rear when these pics were taken and the rear wheel ...

Hi 1Madegineer,

Have put in boss shocks and 4inch flexi coils and seems to be great !!! but only finished fitting everything and have not yet tested properly. Have got some pics but not at full flex as had no bumpstops in yet.

Bogged , on road driving is fine without the swaybar in the front ...

Need some flex shots.......PLEASE! :D

What was the total damage if you don't mind? Looking to do the same to mine. Only exception would be wanting A-frame rear.

Cheers, Dano.[/quote]


Hi Dano,

Total damage was around about $4300 for all the gear !! Will get some shots soon, I still have to ...
