Thread: Isuzu Rangie Front suspension system

heavier front springs is about it

Thanks Damien

Doesn't chew out any of the other front end components like bushes , swivels tie rod ends etc?

I may be buying a Rangie with a similar engine swap of a different brand

The owner has been very up front and stated that the front end neded a rebuild.

That could just be an old Rangie thing anywa.

Just wanted to know if the front end was getting a rebuild if any suggested mods should be done

My one went through some radius arm bushings early on, but they were probably poor quality bushings. It now runs poly bushings in the radius arm to axle mounts and has had no issues.

It's simliar extra weight to carting around a fat passenger and a winch.

Other than upgraded springs and shocks, I have converted my swivel housings from 6 bolt to 8 bolt. If your running the later 7 bolt diffs you should not have a problem. It also depends on wheels and tyres as well. Dont forget about unsprung weight .

Pete, fitted LR 110 (Isuzu) shocks and springs. (OME type.) Gives great bonnet height and offroad feel to my 83 RRC.with 4bdiT.

I'm running 180lb/in HD springs, can't recall the length, with monotube koni 30-1426 from an 80 series landcruiser and longer bump-stops. The 80 series must run some pretty heavy springs as they are wound right open with the 180 lb/in springs.
