Lift on a 90

I have spoken to Gwyn and his stuff seems good, same as Bullfrog uses I think, the only bit that looks weak is the front shock tower, it may be just the photo.
The reason for looking at the weekender for the front was to bring the shock out of the spring as i was then looking at putting the X-Eng internal spring on to give more downwards presure.
I am just playing with ideas at the moment.

In thgat case then yes you could use rough country shocks (from llama4x4) with weekender kit. I expect qt would supply them with the kit if you asked.
Sounds like you'll have some useful bits for sale soon then... keep us posted!

3 inch MM4x4 on mine with standard props and arms and just rotated the chrome balls to correct the steering geometry out. On road it feels like its on rails. steering can be light at high speeds. offroad i get great articulation as the springs are quite soft, would recomend disloction cones with it though for the rear. Do get slight vibration from the props and a bit of a clunk now and again on drops etc from the prop being fully extended but other than that its fine. I would never dream of dropping it down, even if i do have trouble parking in hight restricted car parks :D

Err no... (maby on the rear depending on required length)
Trying to find an image of the weekender kit to be sure but the I'm pritty certain they need dampers with eye type mounts on both ends (on the front) where as the 11" rough countries which are only avalible with threaded pin type mounts on bothe ends.

--- Quote from: "Muddy" ---why do you need a lift in the first place? surley your tyres are not so big they rub on a 2" lift? you can fit 35" tyres to a 90/110 without a lift amd a few body mods (and no not a body lift)

Fair comment. I hadn't realised that 35's would go on so easily. I was thinking about 33x12.5 in the future.
