Thread: lift kit for a D3. anyone done it?

Lots of people have lifted their non EAS D3 coilers. Suggest you do a search on the forum topics you should find quite a bit of info.

Hi Jimmy,
Assuming that you are talking about a coiler, a common "lift" is to go with King Springs, giving ~50mm lift. I believe that Pedders now also have longer springs.

The lift itself will not affect the speedo/odometer.

Naturally, if to go with tyres with a greater rolling diameter than standard, that will affect the speedo/odo.

HTH,

Hi Jimmy,
I lifted my original 05 D3 TDV6, I've got an SE now. I got King Springs from "Suspension Stuff" on the internet. Everything fitted, I had the wheel alignment checked after I'd done it. I attempted to change the springs on the struts myself, I managed the front ones myself , I tried the rear ones and broke my spring compressors, quite frightening, I had a suspension joint fit the rear springs to the struts, I took the easy option here. I kept the 17 inch rims so no chage to the speedo. Hope this helps.

Hi Nomad9,
You're not the only one.

I had my King Springs fitted by one of their Sydney agents. They also broke their spring compressor and had to chase around for a replacement.

I believe that they (the agent) no longer will fit the springs to the D3.

Best Wishes,
Peter

I've got a D3S and would like to fit an aftermarket kit to raise / lower the suspension. Anyone done this? Anyone know who could do it in Adelaide?
