suspension adjustables

Post by dannyd »

Hey guys I have an 85 runner leaf all round, and I put a second hand 2" leaves and shocks in that were ln106 with a steel bar and winch.

It has lifted my runner about 80 at front from the sagged original setup and about 15mm in the rear (not as much because the previous owners lifted the rear to correct the sag), which is now completely level front and rear.

I've orderer tough dog adjustable torque bar and rtc steering damper, and a dropped draglink and extended brake lines front and rear.

When I install the adjustable bits how do I know where to adjust to? Or do I just take the stock bits out and replace with them extended to suit.

Also I've been reading about the tailshaft spacers and the castor wedges for under the springs, how do I know if I need them? I've driven in it with just the lifted springs and the shocks that came with it, haven't noticed any vibrations just a bit looser steering than before.

Cheers for any help

torque bar is useless but you just adjust it to the length that fits.
draglink-if you dont already know i wouldnt be doing it yourself.
you dont need castor wedges
did you move your diff forward? no, then you dont need a tail shaft spacer
you could have done some research and found all this out in about 5 minutes

I think that you should replace the torque bar as it is has finished to work more on and if you would make any other adjustment with this one, so I think that it would not resolve the problem and remain same . There are some more things which you have to settle with the torque bar. Check your dropped drag link and extended brake lines front and rear as what it have the issues with. After tunning in all the problems you would enjoy the ride without any issue.
