I have alowed a fair bit of swing. the shocks are angled in more than the towers are at ride hite. so as it swings it straightens up in the tower. I was hoping to get shocks with a boot rather than a metal collar to give it that bit more room to beath as well.

does not look four inch in the pics ( as you are there I am happy to take you word for it

) .. greg has asked if you can send him some, to make a nice "bling" exhaust tip from :cool:

U two never stop. The tray is all primed up and ready to be painted. Got to do some welding on the fuel tank(move filler pipe. some pluming, front shock monts and I will be ready to roll again. And get a driver side CV before I forget its broken. Next comp will be at offroad expo at lcmp in the mud runs. We will see how the boggers go at 7000 rpm.

Whats the offset on those rims??

Whats it Steer like??

Not sure of the exaxt ofset but I think it is about two inches from the inside edge of the rim. I went for one quick burn on the black top and it seemed all right. I can't really tell till its driving again though.

I havent tried it yet I still have a busted CV in the front from when I had the 30s on. I will tell you when it is going. I was planning to take the welded front out and put a open center in till I got a air locker though.

The Local paper took some picys of my rig today. (not for the police report thankgoodness) They wanted to know a bit about Q rock. I flexed it the most I ever have for the photo. Got the back wheel up on five palets. I will scan my picy up when it is printed. Next thursday I think. I have my insurance form and nomination form filled out for expo too. Hoping to C a few of the outerlimits spooks there.

wHEN FLEXING I did notiice I will have to do some triming of the front guards. Would there be any reason why the drivers sides rubbs well before the passenger side? Other than it is a bit sagged.?

I think that's the only reason really - that and the fact that the driver is on that side and (if still in stock location) the battery is too.

Check out OME springs - the drivers side front has more arch on it purposely to try to remedy that sag.

what is your suspension set up? i cant work it out from reading this thread

ruf? longer springs?

i just dont know? :cry:

Posted: **Thu May 06, 2004 8:47 pm**

camo- Im running in the front: ulitimate rears, 2" droped hangers and extended shackles. In the rear: Extended drop shakles and 2" lifted king springs. Sprung over all round and all over load leaves removed and a few others swaped about. munro shocks all round, Camira in back and tritans in front I think.

Any way the back has been cut as all U know but with another roll over under my belt and the front end not looking real happy am I going to bush the front end for tube? or replace pannels and trim front guards of couse for full travel and 37s.

Well it is baCK Ive been and rolled and fixed again. But some Questions. Do all 1 litre bonnets hit on radiator cap in the 1.3 or is it cous I used a morti bonnet? Is the bonnet latch different for a morti? my old one don't fit.

Some quetions of different nature. What is better droop or tuck? The suzi I have pics off in the thread earlyer Matts is almost up to the suspension stage tube and body are finished. He s found a set off 44s for it and I don't think it will have much room for tuck just droop. And will his gears be low engough series 3 rh and 4 somethings 45 series LC diffs?
