Lift on a 90

(1/5) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Looking for some level headed advice please!

Not sure whether to stick to a 2" lift or go up to 3" on my 90. Am I likely to run into propshaft issues with the 3" lift? I've heard stories about UJ vibration with bigger lifts.

I've been running 2" OME suspension on my 110 for several years and had no problems. But I am wondering whether to go a little more extreme on the 90.

Has anyone used Frogs Island TerraFirma springs? Or a kit from MM4x4?

Your opinions and advice will be most welcome.

Hi Steve,

I have just purchased a 90 Truck Cab with a +3" OME lift, once I had returned home I went through all the receipts that were left with the car, there seems to be a fair few for UJ's it even came with some spare ones, so you can draw your own conclusion.

I will be changing the springs as they look tired, but at this moment I am not sure if to stick with +3 or drop to +2

I want to put some LLama +11 shocks on and I need to find out if I can run them with the QT front weekender kit, so if anyone knows drop a reply

Mark.

V8MoneyPit:
My cheap option is to just buy 2" springs and use the dampers from the 110 which is not long for this world. I suspect I'll go that route just because it's the easiest.

i have +3" with +4" shocks .It ran ok on standard props but i put devon44 wide angle props on because the prop drops loads on full drop,i wouldnt run 2" again now i have used the 3"

V8MoneyPit:
Whose springs and dampers are you using?
