Interesting lift method..

Post by murcod »

Taken from the Daihatsu Driver's forum (in reference to a Sportrak/ Feroza lift options) :
ive just done a spring over axle conversion on mine it gave me 6"lift on rear had to have a prop spacer made though .and managed to get 4"on front by cuttin lower bump stops and torsion bars off then replaceing front shockers with mondeo v6 suspension legs .then i did a 3"body lift on front down to a 1"at the rear to leval it all out and 33/12.50/15 fit without rubbing and it drives 10 times better than it did
:shock:

It'd be so lovely to get rid of the torsion bar setup :lol:

So what is it apparently using as front springs since the torsion bars have been cut out?

I don't know- the description of using Mondeo parts is a bit vague and there are no pics in the thread.

BTW the Mondeo shocks are nothing special, just your normal MacPherson strut type set up with a lower wishbone connected to a front sub frame.
