Shock setup in the rear of lux

[duallux]

Check out www.superiorengineering.com.au in their Before/After section. It has many pics of hiluxs with the type of set up you're looking at.

shit thats a big block your using looks sweet but, Like where your exhaust exits.. thought it has to be behind the diff to be legal??

As far as im aware your exhaust has to dump behind the last opening door. I unbolted mine just under the cab removing the whole rear section. Ill get the new exhaust to dump just behind the cab without a muffler, on turbo diesels its not so loud (no louder than a wrx with a 3" exhaust).

I just set up my shocks identical to Diesel028's minus the lift blocks, seems to work just fine both on road and off.

hey spaz, i think he's refering to the shock set up not a 3link a-frame

badlux, an A-frame is a linkage frame used in coil converted trucks.

see pic below

Arrr, such a horrible pic of the first A frame I built!!!!

You could move the shocks towards the diff head and still have them vertical. They will allow more flex, however they will also promote body roll on the road!! Theres alway comprimises!!

From what vehicle would be the best 3 link be from to graft to the rear of a hilux?? Heard Range Rover but very open to suggestions
