cheers for that... any one else that can help me out with the other questions

[oldmate]

the factory front and rear lockers were an option on the sahara, not standard.

6 inch is probably a bit much for an 80 that will be driven on roads. If you go this way you need to make sure the suspension flexes - particually the front otherwise it will be very tippy to drive.

Some coils sag. first you need to make sure they are rated for the extra weight you may have. Also i'd go with dobbinson coils, they are pretty much the best ones out there.

how do the ironman ones go off ebay for $1990? the only road driving i do in it is to get to the 4x4 tracks

cheers mate
anyone can advise me on how bigger of lift i should go on my 80series? it has 35's on it now. has 3inch or 4inch that has sagged now not sure?

[stinger]

I was told my lift was 6", now sagged overed a large number of years to about 4-5". I also have shocks from Dobinson for 6" lift they are great, no need for adapters and drop out further than a set of Ranchos.

I 35s and 38s with the 38s I had to take out 35mm in the rear guards (no firbre glass flares).

Next springs I get will be 5" as I like this size. No sway bars and she leans in the corners but it was built for off road work and only does less than 10,000 kms per year.

If you only run 35s I would probably go no higher than 4" lift, should be a good compromise if set up properly.

some one said maybe get 5inch springs with 6inch shocks if that makes sense?

[howsie]

I got 5 inch dobinson coils and shocks. Has sagged to about 4 inches now and realistically I would go no higher. Running 35's the only issue I have is the rear hits the rear bumpers and inner guard. Nothing a bit of trimming and bump stops won't fix. Handles better than dads 75 series with a 2 inch lift via extended shackles.

so i should go no higher then 5inch? should i get heavy duty springs also? i do a fair bit of rock clibs and big angles so dnt want her to flip

Lockers were factory fitment on EVERY australian delivered 80 series sahara. They were however an option on 100's and some import 80's

you need switches and the Difflock ECU and wiring harness or you can make up your own control circuits and wiring harness using relays.

PM me for a wiring diagram for relay control circuits.


As for lift, I wouldn't go any higher than 4" springs, particularly if it is used on road. Having 4" lift never stopped me from going anywhere that an 80 with 6" springs went.
I had 35"s with 4" lift with no problem, you can go bigger rubber if you are prepared to change bumpstops, trim guards etc.
