resetting standard springs with lift...how is it done?? any pros and cons of buying anew set of standard springs and getin them lifted??

cheers mark.

take to suspension shop

afaik they pull apart leaf pack, then rebend each leaf at a time on hydraulic press to give you lift. means you can specify how much lift, so if need 2" to clear tyres thats what you get. not 2" or so higher than standard (cos your springs probably not at standard height anymore). can also get leaves removed to improve flex and ride. bad thing is can sag again esp if remove leaves (and over load vehicle), but best to talk to someone who does on regualr basis. cheaper than newies

i was gunna buy a new set of ifs leaves and remove the load leaf and then get them reset with 2'' lift. how much do you reckon they will sag when the load leaf is removed??

best to check with either someone who has done this/works in suspension shop. although amount of sag will depend how much vehicle weighs (winch, 3 beefy teenages in back etc) and how driven (eg heaps of corrugations)

sorry couldnt be more specific, but sounds the go to me. cheaper that newies and can always get reset (real cheap when you take leaf pack to shop ie no vehicle)
