suspension compatability for sj51

[mick s]

hi guys very informative forum,just one question i have just got another suzuki[1985 sj51 1.3lt ute]and was wondering if all my old suspension [ome dakar springs,rancho shocks and snake 2in shackles] off my 89 widetrack hardtop, would fit and if i need to make any mods cheers

Should fit. I'm pretty sure the suspension kits fit lj80s all the way to the last leafy widetrack

you might find that the springs will be too long and too soft going into the LWB
i had a few issues when swapping my springs from my swb WT to my sj51.

i never had a issue with inverting shackles in my swb but i couldn't drive up my driveway
with out inverting the springs after i swapped them into my lwb.
i think arb have have different rear spring for lwb sierras

also if you have a rear top shock mount that locates to the original shock mounts
then it wont fit the LWB.
