Any idea on wheel size?

Yeah he is a very good chap.

Probably been able to sort me with springs. I've sourced the Astra shocks myself. He's out of body lifts though!

Yeah he said he had them on his truck for a couple of trips. I can't seem to find any breaking ones. There is one being broken near me but the guy can't be bothered to call back.

I purchased the Astra shocks today (£22 delivered). Looking to get the springs in the new year (once cash starts to flow slightly) I'm going to get some good tyres for the 10.5 rims I've got on there at the moment.

I'm slightly concerned about the stress on the CV boots, don't really see the point in lowering the axle again (defeating the object slightly?) I wondered if its the kind of thing fitting a larger CV cover and a good jubilee clip would sort out? How often does this 3" lift give a problem?


Thanks again.

ive contaxted dave @ b4v he is trying to find a number for the guy we no who breaks gv's up manchester way
so ill let you when i do about that

some vits not all have some cv issues when you lift the suspension up its a matter of trial and error same with the font camber some need
correction bolts some dont,till you have lifted it you wont no

on the cv matter
its more the angle of the dangle than them being overley weak,can just casuse stress inside the cv its self
best option if you dont have them already is to fit free wheeling hubs the manual sort so the front drive shafts will only spin when ur offroad and they
are in the lock position
otherwise they turn all the time and cause wear and tear on the cv's and boots

there is a conversion if you are really worried where mitzi cv's are grafted(welded) inplace of the standard suzuki units

hope this helps you some more

Yeah I've put my name to the ones he's taken off of his. Seems the best route, paying a little more than normal but hey its good kit.

I'll see what happens with the CVs. It's the kind of thing I can bodge through work which is good!

Thanks for all this effort. Once I've paid Dave for the springs and body kit I'll but some tyres and get on with it! I'll keep you posted with before and after pics where and when I can!!



Regards,

Anthony.
