X-Trail Spring Spacers

Has any one done the Spring Spacers in the front. Looking at 30mm lift to bring it up level for when I put the New springs under it.

No one seems to make them for the Snail so I am hoping some off a Landy or 100 series may do the job, open for suggestions.

I am putting a set of HD + 300mm in the rear for towing the van.
I have just fitted up a set of Good Years All weathers 235X75X16 to combat the loss of over drive while towing, these have thrown the speedo out by 6 K nad that is fine as I am sure not going to be doing 110k at any time with the van on.

The Van is a Viscount Aero Lite and it has been Modified with a box section Chassis as they did have some problems with them cracking.

I may not understand what you're asking here - but I'm fairly certain that 'Superior Engineering' in QLD sell X-Trail spacers.

Thanks for the info, just rang them and the do spacers but not Spring Spacers. They would give me 50mm when I am only looking at 30mm to level the front out.

This is the Spacers they make

Not sure of your spring diameter but I'm guessing it is a smaller then normal coil.

Try the Zook section, there is a dude in QLD that makes spring spacers for Vitaras, etc. He may be able to turn something up for you and the zook guys I'm sure can put you in touch with him.

Yah that would be Bruce from the North Brisbane Suzuki Club I am a member there but he has never done any for the Snail but we are looking into others that may suit.
