Spring lift -88 Classic

Post by fnukle »

What springs(colours) do you fellas/chicky babes recommend?
The LRA link has the ones im refering to but if someone can recommend someone in brisbane that accually knows about rangies with a 'A Frame' please let me know :D

Thinking to go a 3" spring lift from LRA OR somewhere in brisbane if recommended.
Want a decent lift but dont wanna go over the top

Options so far
3" spring lift no body lift
4" spring lift no body lift (is it just asking for roll overs?)
2" spring 2" body (if so, what is the advantage over 3 or 4" spring?)

Info on my Rangie
88 classic, 3.5 EFI
No body lift as yet, maybe in future if i fit shockies that need it.
33", offset steelies, guards cut.
Front and rear arb bars+rear swing bar.
Dual batts.
Standard A Frame on original diff setup-rear maxidrive.
Rangie doesnt carry a huge amount of shizzal ever cept when the mrs goes shopping..
Have in mind a 3" spring lift.

Thanks
Pete

If you want to go just for springs and body and not include rotating hubs and front and rear suspension arm mods... stick to 2" spring which should keep your caster within reason, drop less than 3 degrees and steering can become a handful. 2" body lift will not effect suspension, but give another 2" space to the tyres.

Give Andrew a call at LRA, (measure your bump stop clearances before you call) he'll ship you springs, and you have 20 days or so to send them back and change them if they are not right. His extreme travel kit might be worth investigating too.
