Tortion Bars?

<< < (2/4) > >>

discodevil:
apparently you can lift the taution bars 2" but you ned to drill a new hole through it and then put a bolt or summit like that through it???     like how axle stands work?

Range Rover Blues:
Confused now, take us some pipctures mate.

discodevil:
Will do..........i will in the morning when its bright lol and post them in ma gallery

rollazuki:
undo the torsion bars(with the truck supported.
Usually the end will pull off a spline and you can refit it 1 spline further round, thus preloading the torsion bar, and raising the truck.
This makes the ride damned hard, and reduces suspension flex.

To do a spring over stresses the leaves HELL more than a shackle lift. Its got to be done right and new spring seats welded on right, and gives the springs a damned hard time cos you can now flex the bejaysus outof them.

Theres a reason why independant suspension lift kits cost so much, its cos theres a lot to do if you do it right.

Try bigger tyres, its the easiest way foreward for ground clearance.

If you really think about it it doesn't alter the ride hardness at all as you are not putting any more weight on the front to tension the torsion bar more. You are in fact just moving or dropping the wishbones down further, the 'suspension flex' stays exactly the same - within it's same limits  :wink:


BTW I've also given an answer with pics in the mitsi forum
