havin trouble finding suspension lifts for my RJ70 bundeera. rang 2 local 4wd shops who both said they would ring back with prices.... still waiting a week later. thinkin around 4 inch would be nice. has 2 in body lift already. bit worried about stability though, maybe some off set rims would help, needs bigger rubber anyway. any advice / comments welcome

80 series std front springs in front and h/d 80 series front in the rear of the bundy will give 4 inch lift, get rid of the body lift if you do this, its way too big, i had it in mine too, was ridiculous, looked good tho

heard 80 springs were to hard and won't give full flex with the lightweight bundy is this true ? do i need to think about castor correction bushes with the 4 in lift ? will i need to extend brake lines ?

yeah i've heard that too, but mine seems to flex alright, and a mate of mine came second to a comp truck on a ramp with the same set up
yeah will need to get some castor correction, i used 80 correction bushes pushed into the the outer ring of the bundy bush
its a big lift for a bundy, panhards and everything really should be fixed up to do it i haven't as of yet

next question was going 2 b about panhards but you beet me to it.
i'll check out the dobinsons, might be a bit easier to buy a kit. still doin the ring around for springs but can't find std 80 springs closest so far is 15mm higher than std but the heavy duty seem to be 50mm higher which will be to big.
how did you go with shocks? did you fit the springs, flex it up and measure?
with the castor correction bushes what degree did you fit?
thanx for the info its hard to find anyone with much knowlage of bundys.

i'm not sure what degree the bushes wee, got them from pedders, there rubber which is good, haven't done any measurements sorry
i ran ome 80 series ones, just had to modify one of then to take the eye on top
i think there 2in lift, not sure, there not really ideal, i did it all on the cheap, but it works well
panhards are a pain, haven't found anyone that does them for the bundy yet

try dobinsons in sydney for panhards the fella i spoke to reckons he can get them through a supplier they use, they also hav bush and castor kits. the 3 in kit doesnt look to bad and might be less headaches than chasing bits and pieces from other setups. $880 for springs n shocks but still looking 4 other possabilites .
