forest of dean redneck 11,474 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 whats the body roll going to be like? years ago i raised a landy 90 by 3 inch,using old man emu shocks n springs and when i went round a corner it nearly tipped over,on 750 x 16 tyres, it handled better when i changed to 33x12.50 x 15 tyres. have you considered getting spacer shims and raising it that way?

davis8008 65 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I was going to put bigger tyres on it in the future, na I've never raised a car before, only lower a cupple. how would I know about body roll before I raise it up, or wouldn't I? and I've not looked in to spacer shims, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,474 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 you wont until you do it,whats it corner like now? higher you go the wider the tyres/axle length needs to be really for stability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stubby 175 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 also will all the cables,gear linkage,brake pipes etc allow a 3" lift, I know on vitaras they need extending Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davis8008 65 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've done abit of research on the net and people say they don't need extending, just trying to figure the best way to go about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aics308 0 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The kit is complete, the front is done by indexing the torsion bars, which can be a difficult jut, especially if they are all seized up. To be honest, anything over an inch and they handling is not great and the steering starts to feel very strange indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
