75 series ute suspension?

Post by superslowlux »

Just wanna know if or what springs anyone is using to give a cruiser some flex? Any springs out there longer than standard that someone is using? Is the front as simple as using the rear ones with high steer? Sorry for questions but its my cousins ute and asked me if i knew what to do (without coils!).

Get custom springs made up. or just get new wraps and mains.

Front - 40mm longer wraps and mains
rear - 20mm longer wraps and mains

get the whole pack reset. And if you go to someone who knows what they are doing they can set the packs up to suit the ute. like if you have duel batterys and bulls. or a canopy on the back.

You will need 2inch extended shackles with this. Gives around the 4-6inch of lift and plenty of flex for a 75! without going coils or doing a SOA!

In the front use 60 series rears, they are about 50mm longer, combined with 2'' shackles and the right shocks can give excellent front flex. For the rear look at 78/79 or 76 rears one of these could be adapted with the right shackles for good results.

Ok I have a 75 and just happens I also have a 60 sitting up the back that I bought to do a coil SAS my surf so if I use the rear leaves out of the 60 in the front of the 75 with longer shackels it should work a treat???

at the moment my 75 still has origanal suspension and is a little more than sagged

Yeah, might have to mix and match the packs to get the right height due to the extra weight up front and increased shackle angle. I'm using OME 60 series 2'' raised main, wraps and some others combined with my original 2'' pack.

This is how mine is at the moment, plenty of shackle movement left, shocks are stock 80 series rears and are 2-3'' to short.
