wtb 5 inch lift springs for MQ (Diesel)

Post by Vanne »

anyone got a set of leafs lying around for an 85 mq that will give about 4-5 inch lift above the standard ride height?

if so, please drop me a line, or even if you know where to go for a cheap set :)

kind regards :lol:

No one will do over a 2", I bought a cheap enforcer kit, cost me $1k with everything including dampener... once fitted it looked more like a 3", 2" shackle extension and 2" body lift and removed the load leaves and opened the front keepers. It now flexes quite nicely and 35’s don’t even rub

Your existing springs will give you 4-5 inch of lift if you do a Spring-Over-Axle conversion. SOA can be done properly for less $ than a set of good quality lift springs.

right, i thought the spring over conversion brought about 6-8 inches? thats kinda a tad bit high for me.

but hey, if your saying 4-5 inches, thats doable :)

Springs with enough arch to give 5" of lift would be hell stiff and wouldn't flex at all. Definitely go springover for theat sort of lift.

What size tyre are you planning on running?
