hello, everybody.
I want to change a leaf springs on my Feroza, but there are now lift kits avaliable in Vladivostok. The question is: from what car the leaf springs are seautible for feroza?
thnx for answering.

may be a better idea to get the springs reset and then get some longer shackles made up.
check out the faq's section above on suspension mods.
some of the other guys here like murcod should be able to give u more advice on swapping rear springs etc

I haven't done a lift at all, but like Fearoza said your best options would be firstly getting the leafs reset (any suspension place should be able to help you out), or secondly (and cheapest) is to get extended shackles. There should be info on the shackles in the FAQ somewhere; just be wary that it's not the safest way to do it- but you shouldn't have any problems if you use heavy duty extensions.
You may be able to find shackles off another vehicle that will bolt straight on if you're lucky.
For the front just adjust the torsion bars up to match.

I've just got longer shacklesand had torsion bar wound up, but want some more lift.
Speaking about reseting of springs it's rather temporarily (not for a long time). I want to get new, but from the other car.
going to faq. thnx.

boris... sadly.... you cant do too much more for lift after you wind up the torsion bars... there really isnt much of anything out there to deal with the ifs on the feroza. only way you can really get more lift is to either take off the ifs and reweld it on with blocks and fix your drive shaft angles and diff gear housings. OR, you could take off the ifs like besty and kent did and do a springover with a live axle... either way, your lookin at some serious dough in order to go past the 4 inches you can gain from the body lift and the torsion bars being wound. good luck!

Run 31' tyres and you have some extra lift.....
