Yep, that's the way

You have a 93 Rangie, there isn't one you lucky sod

Trav

Everything I could do is now done.

All the LRA hardware is on and the front springs are in. Now I just have to pick up the shocks and rear springs. It's a bit of a worry at the moment because I now have 150mm at the front bumpstops which i think ie equicilent of a 4" lift......I only want 2". I am hoping that when I take it for a test drive it will all settle down. :?

I thought you were all just joking about the angle grinder on the boge strut but when I went to take it off there was no way could get the thin nut holding in the ball joint loose........so I cut it off with the angle grinder.

I dont joke!! they can get pretty hard to get off sometimes and the grinder is just the easy way out!!

so where are the pics?

8O whenI first put in the Rangie Spares 'purples' (220lb) in the front of the 'fender it was only 120mm, and they measured a bit over 17" tall free length !

If that's the case then they should settle down when I drve it. The springs I put in were 160lb and measured about 16.3" free length.

Either that or Browns springs have stuffed up and they are heavier than 160lb.

they all settle down then it will lean to the rhs :x

I don't think the early Rangies had the problem with the lean. On the early ones the steering box is on ones side and steering pump on the other which I think helped even up the weight. (Or maybe I'm just making it all up).

On my Disco's I have alway had Brown Springs make one spring 10mm longer than the other.

Man those springs are light!

Should flex well though.
