rear travel on lux

[Aza]

here batcho like i said, heres some pics of mine






and the only problem u should have is this, me no got no hand brake at the moment

[batcho101]

thats lookin sweet dude.
the handbrake problem is fine that is hwo mine was before i took leaves otu so i'll jsut make up sumthing to fix it.
do u use the original bottom shock mounts and jsut the different top one?
what stuff did u have to move otu of the way when doiign them like break lines or exhaust mounts or anythign liek that?

all i did was unbolt the old spring, put in the new one with the xtended shackle, i didnt move any hangers, i used the stock ones. i didnt move anything, just worked around it. u can do the whole thing by urself (but its alot quicker with two people). its really not a hard thing to do, some things could piss u off though, like when my shackles had to be bashed on etc. one thing though, when u change the springs, u should change the spring bushes as well and grease them up to.

I have some advice Batch.

Let the boys come araound and show you, every project has to start somewhere..

I'm not knockin ya mate and am willing to pass on any info that I know but these guys actually wanna come and show you exactly how to do it.
Let em

[batcho101]

no worries high and mighty i just wont have money to do it for a month or 2 casue other things came up like fuel pump. then need to pay rego then it can start and i am sure i will ask for the boys to come round and help if they want to

[Aza]

when ur ready and i have the time i'll drive mine over there, might give u a better understanding to see it with ur own eyes

[batcho101]

will do........when do u get your licence aza?
only problem i think i will have is that i cant weld and dont have acess to all the good tools for fabbing up shackles, bars etc

licence aint a prob, im onl L's bubs is on his opens.... its all legal and im sure if u asked bubs nicely and put some $$$ his way he would make some for u

[batcho101]

sweet.............i got no probs wit payin to have some shackles made up when the time comes i will have to ask him and maybe some shocks mounts to .
your shocks are both mounted at the front of your diff arent they?
this is my main concern i dont kwno whether to go full layover or have soem made up to abotu 15 degrees like bubs said

[Aza]

15 degrees would give u more down travel and less compression, but by the looks of how mine are working at the moment u get alot more down travel then up. so 15 degrees would be better opposed to my 45 degrees. and yes shocks mounted on the front side of the diff, when i moved the axle back it still seemed to be on a decent angle, i thought i might have to change my mounts but it ended up fine

get the shocks as upright as you can

and try to mount the shocks on the rear of the diff will control axle rap a little better then on the front

Why would it control it more on the back side if the diff? Shouldnt make any differance un less the compression and rebound rates were differant...but also because aza is running the upside down it should be the same as right way up on the rear...mabey?

[batcho101]

so for the shocks to be changed i will have to have a u-bolt flip kit with the custom top mounts and jsut get some new diff mounts form big balls or superior engineering.....sound pretty good to you guys? or am i missing sumthing?

[high n mighty]

You won't need the u-bolt flip kit if you change your shocks but it would be a good move to do it and gain more clearance.

MY45, what drugs you on?? I want some

i think u will find most shocks are harder to pull out then push in

so if they are on the front of the diff (whether there up side down or what ) are goin to push in
so if they are on the rear they are goin to have to extend as the diff raps
