2" spring lift

Post by changaz »

managed to score a set of 2" lift rear springs for practically nothing. They will be going onto my stock ifs 98 hilux.
will i find any problems after fitting, im under the impression stock shocks will cope, and the ifs can be wound up 2" to match but still be able to have the camber etc adjusted to an acceptable value.

just want other peoples experiences with any issues i may encounter.

Longer shocks on the back would be a good idea and also winding torsion bars up put's extra pressure on stock ones so may be looking at decreased life of your torsion bars and yeah a wheel alingment to get camber and toe right

Definately longer shocks in the rear or youll be hopping everywhere as they bottom out.

If ya TB are ok just crank em up no point changing till they dont hold the weight and when you do change dont go for the heavy duty 1s they ride way to hard.

And yep wheel align is a good idea as sic lux said
