(1/3) > >>

simon15:
Im fitting dads 2" lift from paddocks tomorrow as its supposed to be dry.

I have WD40'd all the bolts so they should be ok.

Just wondered if there is any tips on doing it???


im planning on doing 1 corner at a time. Undoing everything dissconnecting brake lines and the lifting the chassis with a engine hoist high enough to fit the new springs etc.... and repeat all round...

Steven:
This person had done it, left a few tips there. Hope this hopes.

clbarclay:
I would disagree about the spring compressors having fitted over 17 inch springs front and rear, you just need a bottle jack to force the front axle down. and thats with a bodge sLU in the fitted to the rear of a RRC.

Disco_Stu:
Spring compressors can be used but aren't essential if you can get the vehicle high enough and the axle low enough.

Beware of forcing the axle down with a jack, it works really well but keep an eye on your brake lines and bushes etc.

Good luck, its well worth it.

Stu.

Anyone had troubles getting the lower shock bolt off of the front???


Gonna go buy a blow torch to heat it up and see if that helps.....


Its the only thing holding my back........... oh and possibly the brake pipes as they look a bit rusted together..
