Thread: Wedging plates for suspension

correct me if i am wrong , but they are the rear arms mate . So where else on the rear did you mean ?

yep, looks like the radius arms in the picture, but does (not sure ops: ) the rear lower link have the same sort of mounts ?

if not do u have to do anything else to the rear to correct the 2" lift ??

I saw these :

matt,
the first pic is for the rear link kickers, these go on the chassis end of the rear controll arms. there is nothing for the diff end. all they do is offset
the chassis bush so it lasts longer with the lift. for what they are
they are way to expensive, and for a 2'' lift i dont think they are needed.
you need a shock that has longer that 10'' stroke before the bush stops wheel travel.

as for the second pic, they are rear shock mount kickers, i reckon that these would be a better purchase. they sit the top shock pin inclination
to a more horizontal position. these would be better if they made to lower the pin position, as to give more downward travel.

the one thing to check on the rear is the brake line, at the tee. i just made up an extention to the factory bracket to lower it 2''.

discowhite had 10.5'' stroke rear shocks, 450mm free height springs.
the springs would dislocate 3''. the limiting factor for the rear on her was the chassis bushes, i wasent running cranked arms or any kickers.
so unless your going anywhere near these specks i wouldnt spend
your money.

cheers phil

cool, thanks phil

Now I know that the cracked arms are better, but I was after a cheaper option for a 2" lift and don't want to use those offset bushes.

Also do u put a set of these on the back as well ??

Matt.

I have run them for about 2 years but u still shagg out the rear bushes with a 2' lift andrew now has off set rear bushes which do almost the same thing, he has the bushes made with a 15 deg offset so with a 2" lift the bushes line up with the traling arms 100% only been running them for 2 weeks (one 4x4 trip) so can't say how long they will last but install was a p!ss easy will post pics later on today
