I want to put do a 80 series coil conversion on my 75. Where can i get all that i need? all the mounting points for torson bars and coils plates ect? Do mobs do complete kits for them or will i have to go to a wreckers? I dont actually need the springs or the torson bars! going to lift it straight up so new springs torson bars and shocks straight under as i do it!
Cheers Barno

80 series springs under 75series
1996 HZJ75RP, DTS turbo with 3inch exhaust, rear locker, MTZs, 2inch shackles, 2 inch custom packs!
If you're planning on fitting 80 series torsion bars, standard or not...don't bother attempting this conversion yourself!
You'll have trouble using 80s spring mounts etc with 70s axles.
There are no off the shelf conversion parts available to my knowledge. Probably best to use 80s axles and 80s spring/arm mounts (from a wrecker or keep an eye on outerlimits classifieds or ebay

Tetanus rolling on 37's
Scratches head... this kinda along the same lines as the pirate diff welding thread?
Firstly, 80 series dont run torsion bars, secondly if you want it engineer able you will need to use all the factory brackets off the 80 series chassis, so ideally you would pick up a rolling chassis from a wrecker, use all the standard mounts and make up the custom bits you want like rear arms as you go.

second needing the factory mounts. $300 for front half of the chassis.
i paid $150 for coil hats, and made most of the rest, your biggest trouble will be where the radius arms mount to the chassis. the same place as your GB cross member.
get a measuring tape and spend the next 3 months planning it

correct, and why im looking for a good straight 80 chassis stillbj on roids wrote:Umm, yeah it is, I have done it. Needed, chassis mounts, and radiator mounts, and brake lines and lots of fiddly assed little things, but still easier than putting that suspension under a different car.pinkfloyddsotm wrote:not as easy whacking your cab on it lol
