compromise
Drift:
On the rear depending on the shocks you may need to increase the size of your bump stops this will also stop the wheels hitting the arches.
On my IFS Ive cranked up the torsion bars and flipped the upper ball joints to get the camber back and trimmed the upper bump stop to gain more down travel that was lost after turning up the torsion bars, I have +2" shocks on the front as well as the rear.
The main limiting factor on the front is the angles of the CV joints after a lift, this can be avoided though with a Diff drop, relocating the mounting for the front diff to lessen the angles on the CV joints.
No sure what the Maverick but it works for the Frontera.
lambert:
not wishing to sound dense but flipping the top ball joints, how does that work?
Mudlark:
Flipping in this sense is American and simply means moving the ball joint from seating on the top of the upper wishbone arm to seating on the bottom of it
The same term is used in many American mods — our rear axle spring over on leaf springs would be called flipping the axle in America
lambert:
ah i was beginig to think it was rude, in a similar way to flipping avians! [-X
Drift:
:shock: :lol: :lol:
It gives you some camber back when you crank up the torsion bars and as a bonus you get about 10mm more down travel on the front, quite a few fronteras have that mod, you can also purchase ball joint spacers to move it further down but these are only available from the USA, though I know a couple who make their own.
Adding the ball joint spacer you may need to re index the torsion bars to gain even more lift, buts as the thread title says its all a compromise with IFS.
