another lift question

muddymud:
ok i have just got a rrc as my new play toy, i don't really want to spend £200 or even £100  on some springs and shocks so could i just use 2" blocks a make up some dislocation cones? or would it be better to spend £100 and get some good springs?

Cheers,
Nick

If its only going to go offroad just use some blocks

And some 2" box section to extend the shoxs by fitting it to the bottom

I did this on my offroad plaything a few years ago then sold it on to a mate

Its still the same now.............hope this helps

I don't see the need to spend money when you don't need to (and yes i did live in Yorkshire for a while :lol:)

Another option is to stick the rear springs on the front and red/whites on the rear (about a tenner a piece for pattern parts). This provides a modest lift and only slightly stiffens the suspension.

Unless you fit longer travel dampers then dislocation should not be an issue. If it is then effective rear dislocation/relocation cones are very simple to fabricate.

I just bought the procomp 2"+ kit (4 springs, 4 procomp 9000) form paddocks, yes a bit more than you want to spend, but its worth it. Since then ive fitted 265/75/16 insa turbos which catch everything possable. So i put 1" box section under rear spring seats and my brother made some spaces out of aluminum for the front as the damper goes through the middle of the spring. So next i extended the copper brake lines and droped the brackets, I did it this way as the brake lines needed renewing so i just made them a bit longer. But for a cheap fix just use box section and spend your money on dampers. As for dislocation cones, this does reduce your articulation but use a jubilee clip on the top of the spring onto where the spring locates.  I got my cones cheap at driffield landrover show.
