what type of steering do you have,If its stock how much lift you got ,do you have an adjustable drag link.

Post by **TYLER** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 6:50 pm

yea bud std steering, nope me drag link isnt adjustable but i can fix that with a call to quickie, i got a 3" lift that has saged to bout 1 1/2" but was also thinkin bout gettin some axel blox to make up for tyre clearance in the guards.. good idea or not?

I'm glad someone asked this question.
From what i've worked out
Redrill diff perches, 38mm?
Shorter drag link
Adjustable torque rod
Lenghten driveshaft
A bit of hammer work

Would that be enough on a 2inch lift?

hey tyler yeah its me hey. im workin on it hey. good to see your trucks going again, hows the new head???just stick with your 32's or go 33's hey. ill buy your 32s then haha.

the main probs youll have is tyre scrub on the firewall. You could cut your guards or redrill the spring perches or put rears up front, a combination of all 3 and you should be able to fit 37's with 2" body lift and standard springs.

yea cheers guys, oi turbo tonka im goin 35's for sure and if ya want me rims and tyres it'll b 400 for all plus that spare, yea im gonna cut bout an inch or inch and a half out of the guards and move me diff forward 2inch and i think i might beable to fit 36's??? do ya recon ill need axel blox for the extra guard clearance, cos i dont want me tyres to be scrubbin on the tops of my wheelarch????

dont put any blocks under the front diff , it will make ur steering really bad.

what i have is 2" extended shackels 2" dropped hanger and moved foward bout a inch and std rear spreings in the front. 35"s fit under that easy and the 37 bogger i ran were just touching under max compression.

were the boggers rubbing on the firewall or up inside the guard?

Post by **spazbot** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 12:15 pm

they folded and tore the guard till the tire was rubbing on the seam that joins the firewall to the side, if i ran a bumstop to limit the last inch of travel it would have been fine

oh rite note to self... no blox in fron, do u know of neone useing drop shackels in the front or if they even make em? oi spaz bot how much where ya maxxis creepies? how do u repack the back springs on the front? like do u just use the first 2 ride leaves or wat? cos i hav no idea, and can u just get std ifs rear and get em resrt to shortin em? cos ive drop shackels on and i wanna keep em on.....

Post by **-Richo-** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 3:26 pm

Just undo the bolt holding the springs together and undo clamps and you can repack the leafs as you wish. Havent heard of people running drop shackles in the front, not sure if it would be a good idea anyway. Heres some light reading for you...

yea thanx for the hint drop bear, but i still couldnt find wat i was afta bud, wat raito should i be convirtin to

Post by **spazbot** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:05 pm

i run ifs rears and 200mm eye to eye shackles in the back, with a 50mm spacer block under the springs and that fits up to 37's with no rubbing.

my ifs rears have been customised a lil with a few extra leaves for give a bit more ride height nad also have been built up more on the drivers side to allow for fuel tank driver etc

Post by **TYLER** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:14 pm

that was on a ute bak wasnt it spazbot????

Post by **spazbot** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:29 pm

i also run a track bar on the rear to limit wrap caused by the spacers and big springs

Post by **TYLER** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:50 pm
