Outer Limits 4x4 Board

has any body had one of freds coil over conversions done and how well did it work ???

An past member in our club had it done to his 75 ute!
he loves it!

Mate of mine has a set in a 75 series, rides well, he loves it also.

apparently he takes two leaves out of the front and back leaves then adds the coils to the vehicle [he has 9 different coils for the back and 5 for the front to customise the car to you requirements],cheers mick

Had it done to a 75 trayback many years ago. I also played around with different length main leaves to help with wheel travel. Found that 20mm longer was the right combo. Very happy with the service.

Any reason why you don't want to do it correctly - 3 link front, 4 or 5 link rear?

all the drop a few leaf and a few coils set ups I have seen have bad axle tramp and smoke uni's when out playing.

This Freds conversions dude could be different though.

I think they are popular because they are much cheper than a proper conversion.

I wouldn't fit one.

By having Comfort Suspension you will obtain a more comfortable ride from your lear sprung 4WD.
Original height is restored with the fitting of Comfort Suspension, i.e. Drive shafts, brake lines and steering are restored to manufacturer's specifications.....

And:

Comfort Suspension coil/leaf combination gives better stability and softer ride making it a safe comfortable vehicle.

with no change to roll centre, track width, centre of gravity, or apparently any other element of suspension geometry, stability can be improved yet a "soft" ride achieved?

How is it possible that people are still duped by the crap?

PS I better get some for my "lear" spring vehicle.
