Post by ford_dave »

Hey

Open the pack and a template will be their, you need a shop press, read the instructions and it will take about 1-2 hours to complete.

Yep as Mick said above, you need to press out the old bushes and in with the new ones.

On another point, it's interesting how closely that 4WD1 (Tough Dog Dealer ?) website mimicks the genuine 4Way Suspension (Tough Dog) website. Almost like they're trying to pass themselves off as the real deal.
I know they're practically next door to each other in Sydney but I wouldn't be happy if it were my company.
gute Reise!

Try local 4wd shops first as you will need the correct steel boss to press out the original and a slightly larger one to press the new ones in, caster bushes are common so chances are a 4wd shop will have the press and gear to do it straight away. otherwise a machine shop.

i just tried doing the suspension myself just before and its bloody hot outside and trying to do it myself without ever doing a lift kit before aint easy.. might be easier just to get someone else to do it for me..
