Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Got an idea, i know the rear spring's on a 75 series are longer than the front, and 78 series rear spring's are longer than 75 rear's.

So the idea i have is to use 75 rear spring's up the front, and 78 rear spring's on the back, with longer shackles,

So the Q's i have is am i right or am i going up the wrong path with this?

This is all going on a HZJ 75 ute

Any advice welcome

should work i guess.. there is a thread around which quotes the length of the 78 springs.. i guess the location of the center pin would affect where the diff sits and steering geometry on the front end..

no reason why you can't try with some springs from the wreckers..

Stock 75 rears are to long for the front. The difference is to great. Use 60/73 series rear in the front and you'll be much better off! Thats what i've done!

Spring lengths are from the the rear pin to diff and then from diff to the front shackle.

Stock 550mm - 590 mm

Current 565mm - 645mm 60/73 series rears


With a 2'' extended shackle these work well.
