Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok a little delima here...

I have a DC setup with adjustable upper arms and standard lower arms, one had a fair ole bend in it. I had this setup with no vibrations at all(dodgy but it worked....).
I have since replaced the standard lower link's with some tougher (straighter shinier links), I also whacked in some 30mm spacers in the rear at the same time. The rear was sitting lower than the front. The front measures about a 5" lift and the rear was significantly lower.

Now, as you can guess, my big bore (damn you big bore) tough dog shocks are rubbing on my coils and I still need to rotate my housing back a little bit more. So, my shock mounts need cutting and rotating..yay...

Wherefor art a custom place in Newy ???

What is going to be the best bet in this situation.

Do I get some newer high clearance shock mounts and turf the old ones. Or keep the old ones and rotate a bit.

I can see the brake linkes getting in the way of the mounting.

Do newy guys know if OL or Out of Town will touch this kind of shennanigans ?

And also what should one be paying for this kind of custom work ? A ballpark figure would be cool...

Argh help !!!

FYI www.snakeracing .com.au has the shock mounts you need (weld on)

Yeah,

They're what I was thinking about using bazz. Just worried about where my brake lines are in respect of where I want to put these new high clearance brackets.
Do you think most 4wd shops would undertake that kind of work ?

On a funnier note all the new control arms I have got from that 3rds production place are Bling Bling chrome looking. You could like blind yourself if you look straight at them. Arrrggh I gotta whack some black on them....

jemmy otha than doin it ya self ......really no that hard as long as u can source a MIG ............a plasma /Oxy or grinder or sawzell to remove old mounts................

Ya should also prob be thinkin bout raisen em a few " aswell.............. have u also realised that your coils are now sittin with a bow in them as u may well have to rotate the coil perches aswell........................i found that b4 i rotated the coil perches my left coil was actuall catchen on the upper coil seat brkt and clangin wen the coil compressed .............


I dont think OOT will do the job but it cant hurt to ask ...........speak to LEN or Darryl there .....
Maybe all bars n tray backs / or JT engineerin will do the work there up thornton way .....although ive heard good and bad reports of JT's work i myself have nuthin against them (they make farken sweet beadlox)

Anyway heres some pics of my POS wen i had the 3 1/2 springs in

New coil locatin brkts


coil perch rotated

Oh ok cool. Thanks for da picks. shorties rock

You don't wanna earn some cash do ya ? Me weld . THe old man can though.....

lol

Nah I am thinking bout heading back home to Wauchope and seeing if one of the boys from Binskins will do it. Yeah the bow in the coils is a worry as well .

That brings me to the diff fill point. Should you a new hole drilled for the new level. Or just rotate the diff to stock level again for each change/inspection ?

I can't really distinguish what mounts they are, that you have used. Are they the originals with a bit cut out or otherwise ?

Yeah Jemmy standard shocks mounts cut down transfered left to right and right to left hand side of POS gave it the right angle to fit sweet



Mate i have so much more shite to do otha wise i would give ya a hyelpin hand .............sorry dude this weekend cumin is slider weekend for me .....

Biskins sounds like the go but a bit of a drive just for that job.........................while ya there steal me sum guards .....rock doors .........and a nice kevlar bonnet if ya eva want a squiz at my heapa poo i work at cardiff industrial area ..........................

ol or out will touch it,jt engineering will and maybe climax.bellvue motors in wickham are starting to do a bit of that stuff.jt has done a bit of work for me and he does good work maybe a little slow though... any queries pm me
cheers jp

MMM kevlar...

I will get the official price list this time and post it on the board. They are expensive but do work out cheaper than factory panels.

Oh ok workin in Maitland so will call into JT and ask a few q's...

if you want a quick easy solution, cut a groove through the sides of the mount, front to back leaving the rear part intact. bend them back to where you want them, then weld plates over the V-shaped openings you have left.
someone should do it for you for a box of beer or something, it is 30 minutes work.
