4" lift on MK

Post by Team Carpet RC Vehicles »

Just a simple question. Can I get 4 inch lift springs and just put them in with a new set of ext. shocks?


What are the dissadvantages or problems I will incurr and what kind of dosh??

She's an old girl and I want some articulation and ramp over out of this sucker.. I dont want to do a SOA because of stuffing around and expens

Surely there is a way to make this thing better in the bush

As far as i am aware, you cant get 4" lift springs for a MK. But you could probably get some custom springs made if you really wanted to. Price for custom springs.... well, a lot i would imagine.

if you just want a bit more height you could fit some extended shackles. Which you could either buy off somewhere like Superior Engineering, or you could make some yourself.

A spring with enough arch to give you 4" of lift will probably net you less articulation than you currently have.

have you considered just trimming out wheel arches/guards and fitting 35 inch tyre's followed by lockers, front an rear (or just one locker).

I current run similar setup to you just with a front lockrite locker and I am driving over up or though plenty of obstacles.

its true fitting lockers wont help with lift etc but what i think he is saying is with them you drive further due to the add traction where as lift and articulation wont really help help you drive further if you know what i mean ;) if you look at some of comp trucks these days they arent really going with huge lift due lockers allowing them to drive further
