Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys,
I have been checkin out this site for a while and noting a few tech heads amongst the crowed. I own an 88 Gq and am sick of it being so low, sitting on the leafs it was born with. i have heard of a spring over conversion and am wondering if anyone has done it using different manufacturers parts (if they fit or modifying them in any way). i know i need a mod plate and have done a search but have not found anything. Has any one done it with some photos they could share.

if you have leaf sprung gq maybe a coil conversion ??
get all the parts of another gq etc and turn yours into coils
im not 100% how easy that is but im assuming it would be better than a spoa

leaf over is illegal in most states so you will have to check out local regs.
it would be far easier to go to wreckers and get coil bits as most gq's are coil not leaf suspencion

The leaf and coil chassis are different. There is quite a bit of work to do the conversion.
If your on the original leaf springs they are probable sagged quite a bit and need to be reset or replaced. There use to be after market sets available with a 2" lift.

why don't you just by cheap gq wagon, rip the cab off and put yours on.
Or you could just put 2" leafs, 2" shakles and 2" body lift

ive just made coil helpers for mine till i get new springs
works a dream
the rears where sagging more and more and now the whole things feels like a new car
just need to do some flexin to see if it has impeaded on that but so far so good

by a GQ chassis/rolling gear, sell your rolling chassis and put your ute body on the chassis, its then classed as a rebody and only requires a mod plate. where as pasting on spring mounts etc. needs engineering and has a good chance of getting knocked back if not perfect.

yeah ok guys, you've talked me out of it. But i cant see any point on putting an old cab, with a bit of rust on a newer chassis. i think i might just hold out and save for a whole new truck. Thanks for your opinions
