Help with 3" bundera lift + fitting 35's

[BFCK97]

Hey there.
just wondering if anyone could reccomend me some good springs and shockers for a 3" lift on a bundera.
i sized up some 80 series springs before but they are wider than the bundera springs and i don't want them flapping around in there.
Also would i need some castor bushes for the front when i lift it?

Also want to hear from people who have 35's on bundera's and what sort of clearance issues they have. I'm planning on fitting 35's to mine even if i have to go a bit mad with an angle grinder.

i want to make it worth having twin lockers and a v8.

Any help appreciated greatly.

80 series front springs (im presuming the 80 series spring you tried was a rear one) are what you want as they are the same diameter as the bundy springs and ive just got a set of pro comps on mine which do the job.

As for the castor correction bushes, i dont know and could do with some too!

mine runs 36's with decent offset no problem

This one fits 35's with a 2" body lift and some trimming...

...they might be able to give you some tips on fitting 35's.

80 series front springs fit all round do they?
i cbf walking to the shed to see if the front and rears are different.
could anybody point me in the direction of a good off the shelf 2 inch kit and i'll just put new body blocks in for the other inch.

did you cut the guards at all to fit 36's?
i had 35's on mine as it sits now, simex's with bugger all tread and the side biters hit the inside of the guard at the back of the guard when u turned. on nissan offset rims i think they were, were off a gq

80s fit, you need standard ones for the front and heavy duty fronts for the rear, other wise its too soft in the rear, full tank of fuel and it starts squatting, I'm running slightly higher rate springs in the rear with 30mm spacers

you can also run 80 caster correction bushes, i have them in mine, the bundy bushes are bigger so you have to burn the bundy ones out and press the 80 ones into the bundy rings, makes it a hell of a lot nicer to drive

you will need to do something about panhards, the wheels still stay in the guards but you can clearly see there off to one side, i need to get onto that soon

When fitting the 80 series springs to Bundera's, do you use standard height springs? Or lifted ones?

Cheers

[pozman]

standard height

[Sentinel]

standard height

Thanks mate, and I'm guessing that gives you about 2 - 3" lift in the Bundy?


Sorry for the hijack BFCK97!

[pozman]

3 or 4 i think, i never actually measured it

[dr who?]

no cutting and my tyres are 14.5 wide and i have 1.5 inch spacers and offset wheels, they do touch on the inner wheel arch under articulation but not much, i could do with spacing the bumpstops down half an inch or so to stop it happening

I was looking into Tough Dogs earlier and they have adjustable panhards here... http://www.toughdogdealer.com.au/panhard.htm


And castor bushes.... http://www.toughdogdealer.com.au/bundeera.htm


I'm sure there's lots of others as well.

[pozman]

just use 80 series castor bushes, and press them into the bundy outer shells, get rubber ones tho

panhards would be good, i was thinking of getting some 80 series ones and shortening them to suit, but adjustable ones would be better

[dr who?]

80 series panhards dont fit they are too wide for the mounts, i just lengthened mine to suit

[pozman]

as in there too long?

cos i was going to shorten them, was thinking it was easier to make it strong shortening it rather than lengthening the bundy one

less joins and all that

[dr who?]

no, the ends are too wide for the mounts

[pozman]

ah right, well i might scrap that idea then lol
