New Suspension

Hey All,
While playing around pulling the front diff out i decided to chuck in the rear springs i got from Justin (3inch raise) and put the rears in the front. Result, probably 3.5inch lift and a scary ride on the road Think i will wait until i get the swivels done to correct the castor and will probably need an adjustable Panhard rod (yeah, the front seems a little out now ). I think I'll also need air bags in the rear as boy are they soft, talk about body roll. Now to undo it all to turn it back into my daily driver
Sorry about the pic, getting a bit dark early these days.

Yep, that's the problem with massive lifts. Putting the springs in is the easy part, it's all the other crap that goes with it and makes the vehicle very unstable as is.

I had a 3 inch lift in my 93 Rangie and like you've experienced, it's bloody scary and I pulled it all out and went back to a 40mm lift (I als have that currently in the blue beast).

Sounds like you are having fun though mate Looking likely that I will be sticking with my 40mm lift on the D2 for the time being so if you want to try out those spacers, they are ready when you are......found them in a box tonight whilst rooting around.

Aye, Mick

Cheers, will take you up on that offer. With my old set up the rear is lower then the front so the spacers should work well. Let me know when convenient to grab them.
