Only problem I can see is having the spare accessed through a panel in the floor of the tray - what happens when you have a tray full, and need the spare?

Winding the torsion bars is relatively simple, but you'll need a good wheel alignment afterwards - find a 4wd specialist, don't take it to Bob Jane or similar.

Rear springs could be replaced or reset. I'm not up on those costs - anywhere between $200 & $600? Longer shackles will also give you lift, but I'm not sure of the legalities.

move the tank

Post by dig3283 »

have u thought of going back to who ever did the gas conversion and asking if they can move the gas tank to the right hand side opposite the fuel tank where the exhaust is. that where mine is and only issue is the exhaust is a tiny bit lower than the tank but i havent destroyed it yet and i go off road a far bit.
