Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm interested in geting more flex out my mk. I was thinking maybe 1 or2 springs in each pack with extended shackles, just to locate the diff, and coil-over-shocks to hold the weight. How does this sound? expensive?

Or should i stick to a more standard setup with 3 leaf in the back and 4 in the front with extended shackles? maybe drop shakles? what they like?

I'm thinking that a standard exended shackle would be more predictable then a drop shackle.

i don't really want anymore lift cause it already looks to high for the road.

i found these pic's on the net somewhere, when i was think leaf springs. i think its on a hilux, same poo different smell.




might help, might not.

thanks mate, thats some nutty lokking suspension on the bottom pics! would like to have some chance at getting over the pits tho if it is ever nesseary agian.

if you are going coil overs, use something like in the 2nd pic. or if your not that dodgy, maybe gq lower arms and rover a frame.

thats 'doddzee' truck. not sure on the legal aspect. but i think if you use standard stuff i.e stock patrol lower arms, stock rover a frame, just anything that looks standard. it should be alrite....maybe..

I would rule out Superior Engineering Rotating Drop shackles if you dont want the truck any higher. Mine gave approx 2" of actual lift.

thanks mate, maybe i should drop the body lift and get the shackles, will probably need a gaurd cut tho.

It will be legal in NZ not sure on aussie rules, Had the certifier look over it the other week and he was happy with it.
