hi monster
thanxs.
The tuff dogs springs work great, well matched with the 45mm foam cell shocks.
The original ride height to the new height did give me 45mm increase. It gave me an increased height of 70mm. I'd say the old springs had seen there day. Springs and shocks I thing was just under $1000 from 4wd1.biz. The other thing I did on the front was make new upper bump blocks. They new ones ended being only 10mm high 6mm fully compressed.
I used 12 aircraft grade alloy spacers 60 x 50 mm with a 10mm hole. The only problems I had with the body lift was the 4wd shifter, and had to lower the radiator 50mm. I ended up cutting the shifter and welding a 40mm steel rod in the middle. It took a bit of stuffing around to get it all lined up so you get low range. Bolt length is 140mm.
