Anyone up for a spanner party soon

[andytats]

Would like to thank everyone that come and helped me today.

We got it all done. Well happy with the end result it should of Only lifted it another inch but with the +3" springs from milners it went up another two & a half inches so I now have a 4 1/2 inch suspension lift on the back.




I'll get some photos of the car tomorrow in day light.
Can't wait to try out the suspension bring on the mud.

Happy to watch . Most of the hard work was already done when I arrived at about half 11. But the truck is awesomely high at the rear! That with its butt tuck you can park a standard frontera under the rear of it .

Also a thanks goes to andy for helping me put the 2 doors onto my truck. The rear took a whole 5 mins? While the front took best part of a hour if not longer lol.

Just had a little play with the car and forklift trying out new new springs and dislocation cones & quick release drop links. It all works really well.

That's mental Andy - impressive though

Thats pukka flex andy....think them handbrake cables might need looking at though, unless the plan is it applies the handbrake when tractionless droop is achieved LOL.
Hows the clearance on the inner wing looking for up travel with 33's?
Might be worth looking at rosejointing the upper rear suspension arm, as I would think you have achieved the limit of travel in its rubber bushes, or maybe have a look at replacing the chassis mount for this with a landrover trailing arm chassis mount, and then using a shortened LR rear trailing arm for the upper rear suspension link.

[andytats]

Sorry Greg you have totally lost me on the rose-joining

I didn't even think about the handbrake cables. I will sort them out later
It looks abit tight of 33s

[hipo1024]

Nothing a FBH can't fix I mean deeper offset rims or spacers couldn't fix

Greg is talking about the bar that attaches to the top of the diff and the middle of the body. What he is saying is the rubber bush inside is probably at the limit of being twisted with that amount of flex.

By replacing with a chunky bar with a rose joint either end it will allow the link to hold the diff at the right angle in relation to the propshaft, but also the joints will allow the axle to twist.

Bit like a chunky version of this:
