whats the best way to put 3in raised springs in a gq when you are doing it by your self
remove shocks,
lift body up and put on chassis stands. lift one wheel at a time off the ground, remove wheel and lower diff till spring drops out. replace spring and lift wheel / refit tyre. make sure there is ONLY the weight of the diffs on the tyres or the car might get pushed off the stands otherwise.
The front may have to be done together as the panhard and 3 links don't flex enough to do one corner at a time. The swaybar also dictates that both done at once.
Its probably the most dangerous work you can do on your car at home so be careful. You might need to put the rear brake line on the front and get a new rear made longer.

Borderline, but give it a go and see what happens on the road.MY89GQ wrote:will i need anything else with the 3in lift maybe offsett bushes or will i get away with them having no more the 3in
cheers
If you do get the wobbles i have a set of radius arms with 3degree castor bushes in them for sale that i just replaced with a set of 2dxtreme arms.
Just make sure everything else is "tight" and the tyres are balanced first.
cheers smitty
innovation is better, better is faster, and fast is all that counts
I would say... no way known. It will wander heaps without some castor correction. Personally I didn't like the bushes much, I think it needs something better to do the job right.MY89GQ wrote:will i need anything else with the 3in lift maybe offsett bushes or will i get away with them having no more the 3in
You probably want brake lines too... I think (long time ago for me) it's rear brakelines to the front and new ones in the rear. Or maybe the other way around.
Longer panhards also.
