suspension setup ln106r??????

[Mkdude]

now, all i have ever owned is gq's, so i have no idea when it comes to luxs, i just purchased a single cab ln06r with an injected 5ltr to tow my dirtbike asround, now i want to look good doing it and perform alright offroad..
will 2inch spring,2inch body, clear 35s?????
where should i get the 2inch spring from or should i go more??
it already looks like it has longer shackles? ill take a photo later.

Hey call locktup4x4 and have a chat to them about the kits they do if you used their 3'' lift kits you will clear 35's easy with no body lift.

May not be the cheapest but more than likely the best...

locktup is to expensive, great if u can affrd it, get 2inch springs 2inch bodys lift, take u front dif out and redrill the spring perchs so you can move the dif forward 35mm, i fit 35s like that easy, wil require a 35mm shorter steering draglink

anyone in melbourne want to help me with this ???


or is there a how to on redrilling the perch etc?

[Mkdude]

or can anyone recommend somewhere cheap to take my truck too? i dont want to pay an arm and a leg for a setup as its just to tow my bike around and do a bit of playing on some weekends. so a backyarder with a great hilux knowledge would be good lol..

why do you want 35's?

they arent totally required for a play and are far harder to fit than 33's and they f*&K with your gearing hardcore too

if you want super cheap and easy take the car to a spring shop and tell em you want to get them re sprung so it sits 2 inch higher.

WARNING: do not be fooled into thinking that suspension will fit tyres, on compression it still goes to the bump stops as standard would therefore tyre clearance is only gained by body lift, extending bump stops (limiting up travel) or by relocating front diff to give clearance infront of floor pan.

33's will just fit with minor scrubbing on rims that arent offset with a 2 in body lift (yes i have had that on my car for about a year before i began to get more serious)

with offset rims you will need to take your front diff out and re drill the holes in the spring perches about 25mm to the rear of the current position (drilling to the rear moves diff forward) and you have clearance but need shorter drag link and torque rod.

you cant really move the diff forward anymore than about 25mm without doing more work.

if you want 2 inch lifted springs either get yours reset as mentioned, or buy new ones. then if you want 35's all you can do to ensure no scrubbing is extend the bump stops accordingly to limit up travel.

I'm with yuri, suspension won't mke 35's fit, becuse it still gets pushed up under compression, body lift will help, but the worst problem with the lux is the tyres will hit the bck of the wheel aches when turning, worse if flexing ect, the only wy to fit 35's without rubbing is to move the diff forwrd.
jack up the bus and remove the front diff, brakelines, tailshaft, shocks, diff locator, steer draglink all need to be tken off before you take the u-bolts out to get the diff out.
Drill the diff perchs so the diff will locate bck onto the centre bolt of the springs 35mm further forward (there is a small hole already 35mm forward on one side, thats why people use 35mm as a rule) I moved mine 45mm but I run 36's
bolt the diff back in in it's new position
now for the good bits,,,,, the diff locator will need to be shorter, or an adjustable one fitted
the draglink needs to be changed to an adjustable one
tailshaft needs to be extended
shock mounts will work but should be shifted to suit
brake lines may need modding
front edge of guards might hit the tyres now, so a cut of two might be needed on the front edges
wheel alignment will be shocking, wedging of the diff might be needed, everything will be wrong
have fun!!!!

you can get around the tailshaft problem by using a 40mm tailshaft spacer (worked for me) that was with standard shocks, if you fit shock hoops and 10inch travel shocks or bigger you will have too much down travel for the tailshaft to accomodate, so you will need it longer and if your suspension works any good will need a longer slip too.

also with the shorter steering shaft your steering gets more dodgy and you need to set the bloody torque rod right or it bends your spring and causes sag on drivers side.
