Re: where to get parabolics or coiled and what price?
What are parabolic springs? leaf springs that are thicker in the middle and taper down the be thinner at the ends. also the leafs usually only touch at the ends, with a block between each leaf in the middle(some claim this increases longevity due to less wear from friction... i say that a load of c...

So... I was cruising round fourby's website looking at 33's and saw the radial claw comes in 33/12.5/15... cool... but then i saw that it also comes in 33/15.5/15!!! As a light truck tyre. These have a 3 ply sidewall and 6 ply tread. Is this better for a 4x4?? Wood Guys, Im aware that the 3 and 6 p...

Re: 60
Had the 37s fitted and balanced to 10" rims about 6 weeks ago! Takes less than a second to accidently knock a weight off a wheel. Specially if your underneath doing wheel alignments etc... I've seen this happen on several different cruisers and death wobbles were always solved by getting wheel...

I've pulled mine apart a couple of times but I'm a mechanic so its not too much hassle for me. If you dont want to get to tricky, pull the dash cluster out, take out all the screws which secure the fascia to the cluster body then spray the crap out of the cogs with wd40 or something similar. Probabl...

To the best of my knowledge, (and i'm in the middle of my research like you), I think the 75 series front springs are the longest ones we can use. This will also give wheelbase extension depending on which way round you use them. My current plan is to cut off the stock suspension from the chassis do...

As I may have mentioned previously, I just did this to mine. It was safe to lever the shaft out far enough to put a new O-ring on. Im a mechanic anyway so just got my o-ring off the shelf at work. I'd suggest putting some sealant of some sort on the shaft/o-ring when you slot it back in though as mi...

Yeah, The thing that interested me most was the shackle reversal kit. Combine it with a set of 45 series trayback rear springs (Their really long) and the front of the 40 flexes like crazy. just gotta figure out what to put on the rear. Thinking the same springs with drop shackles... I've emailed Da...
