just had lunch, thinking of sneaking out to a plumbing shop to grab some pipe for my new buggy

any opinions?

oh yeah its easy to fit them on a 83 lux, with no cutting you need AT LEAST 5" total lift, 2" body 3" spring
hands and mums dont count!!!

What are you running atm ??
Lift ?
Body lift?
Current tyres ?
Diffs atm ?

To do it youd prolly need a 2" body lift and and Id run a 4.5" spring lift (2" dropped shackles and hangers + 2.5" spring lift) at least to get some decent clearance and flex

I say only a 2 inch body lift and a FBH (farking big hammer)
My brother had a 82 or 3 lux and we fit 33`s under it with no lift at all and a FBH :D

Not esential but your go slow lux is going to be like a snail pushing s**t up a hill with out doing diff gears.
Lift depends on wether you wont to do any triming.
