Lifting my surf

Post by brett5141 »

Hi Guys and Girls

I'm sure that this has probably been raised but i have used the search and realised i am crap at it.

I have a 91 model Toyota Surf and am thinking about upgrading the suspension, i was not doing it to get more height but figure while i am at it i might as well.

Can anyone tell me what the procedure is, what i need to replace/upgrade, how much roughly or possibly the best people around Melbourne to talk to.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciatted.

thanks

Mate it's basic.
Dial up the original torsion bars to get say 35mm to 40mm lift.(refer to workshop manual for the safe procedure)
Replace the rear coils with some aftermarket units to suit the height you need.
Replace shockies if needed.

If you are real keen aftermarket torsion bars, but beware they will stiffen the suspension up heaps.

Cheers
