See what you can do when you try

'01 SWB 2.2L PETROL called Stanley Bean

If it's got Tyres or Testicles, it's gonna be trouble!!!

flipping the top ball joints will give you 5 or 6mm lift, its more about bringing the camber back in after the lift,

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by MrTom on Sun Aug 14, 2011 9:21 pm

Thanks Steve and andy.

I have lifted the front by winding the torsion bars up. Is it worth flipping the B.j's? Can it be a one man job?

Will be fitting the tow bar shackles and recovery points at some point this week. Just need to find somewhere to go off road now

when we say flipping the ball joints, we just mean placing the ball joint under the wish bone rather than on top, its a a one man job, but i would not do them unless they need doing, and you will need two new ones, as most of the time when you split them, you knacker them,

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by gregster on Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:16 am

Did a "2 minute" inch and half lift on the back of the BGL 2.4i....!!! :shock:

by gas-axeing off the spare wheel carrier! :lol:

who needs uprated springs and longer shackles to get a lift, when you can get one by cutting stuff off the car!

Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Wondered when you would get around to that Greg ... Now you have less chance of getting trapped between trees after sliding sidewyas. At least you will have a better chance to have room to go forwards or backwards now
