Big lift for coily's
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 7:34 pm
Hey everyone with coil sierras.
I have just fitted a set of 5" lifted jimny coils to my 97 model sierra.What a big difference it makes I recon I could easily fitt 33" tyres or even 35s if I tried hard enough. It was an easy fit on the rear but the front needed alittle bit more elbow grease than the rear. The front coils fit on the struts fine but I will need to source longer struts,anyone got any ideas on this. I think I will have to put drive shaft spacers in as well .If anyone wants pics I can post them up on the weekend.Has anyone has got any ideas on rear control arms for alittle bit more flex .Also I was thinkng of putting on a set of 33" silverstone extreams like the simex ones and was wandering if standard axles would handle it I have no lockers and the rolling diametre is around 32" .Thanks
