lift kit

(1/5) > >>

william127:
im thinking about getting a 2inch lift kit for my classic when its up and running, paddocks do 2 with britpart yellow springs and procomp dampers, are these any good? :-k i think i may need something heavy duty as i will be carrying some fairly heavy loads for work in the rear an at the front its got a big 2.8 izuzu turbo diesel?

i've used Britpart springs in the past. They sagged by 1 3/4" in just over 2 years.  :evil:  Guess thats why they're nicknamed S**tpart. I've been using Bearmach blue springs for the past 18 months and I'm very pleased with them.  :D From what I've heard and read Procomp shocks are very good off road but not so good on tarmac. Maybe some Monroe gas shocks? They're about the same price as Procomps.

Hope this helps

thanks, ive looked at procomps because i had them on the back end of my hilux and they seemed nice and sturdy when fully(over)loaded :)

Range Rover Blues:
Avoid Monroe, they have a reputation for the top eyelets opening up because they are welded badly.  The front are ok but do they come in a range of lengths?

I use ProComps and I like them, they are fine on the road and off it.  I've also used DeCarbon and I like them, I've got some Britpart Cellular Dynamic at the moment and they are good but don't damp quite as well.

davidlandy:
If you read many forums you will find many instances of broken procomps - whether they be set up wrong , or wrongly specced for the spring, they just seem to fail a lot.  for that reason I would steer clear of those.

my choice is OME, but they are a little expensive but good, a mate of mine has just fitted some terrafirma so keen to see how they fair.  Previously I had some bilsteins from paddocks which where good.
