you will need longer ubolts, may need to extend the brake line aswell and makesure the handbreak cable clears the spring pack as it will may be in the way

How high are the blocks your getting.

Post by **greenhilux** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 9:20 pm

probably 50mm, no bigger, but maybe a tad smaller.

later model vehicle with larger brakes like yours the hand brake cable should clear with 50mm blocks

Also, might want to start thinking about running a track bar.

Particularly if you intend to pull a couple of leaves from the pack

if your run ning lift blocks and loger shackles you will probably need to run a track bar, if you dont you will start breaking things cause of to much axle wrap

Hijacker 1 (sorry greenhilux)

My runner has saggy arse sindrome, i`m running OME springs all round and have excellent articulation just need 2 inch blocks to pick the rear up. :lol:

If I run OME full rear packs (no leaves removed) with std shackles & 2 inch blocks would I need a trac bar :?:

You probably wouldn't "need" a trac bar but it is advisable. If your springs give good articulation then they will also be prone to axle wrap. By installing a trac bar your vehicle will drive better and have a more "solid" feeling in the rear.
