Tortion Bars?
Roofus:
Hi......
My advice.......pre-tension the torsion bars......put on extended shackles....& raise the body with a body lift.........then fit bigger tyres! It may also be worth investing in OME torsion bars......far stronger than the standard ones!
I've got a 2" suspension lift, a 3" body lift which has allowed 35" tyres to fit......volia! Lot's of ground clearance!
Sorry to disagree Mudlark.......but winding up the torsion bars makes the ride hellish hard! At least it does on the L200! Just ask my dentist! :D
HSimmo:
If i crank my torsion bars up an inch or so, is it necessary to get an alignment after?
Have been told different things.
discodevil:
i want the ride to be able to withstand jumping the shogun and throwing it around, without being thrown round by the softness in springs and damaging the body panels
Evilgoat:
pretensioning the torsion bars is going to result in the inital 'take up' (cant think of any way to word it) of the bars being lost as they are now pre-loaded, it will stiffen the ride.
Mark 2 is dual wishbones on the front and there isnt a great deal of space in there, certainly not enough for a spring. all very tight and well put together down there. I think the whole suspention layout is actually more compact than most cars are.
Mudlark:
If you wind the torsion bar up against the bump stops you will tension it, until that point you are just altering the position of the front suspension.
BTW it's not my idea :P got it through researching suspension lifts on the Mitsi range :wink: :lol: :lol:
