got a lift

[R1cho]

well i gave the datsun a 2" lift usin these

bein as they're alloy and will have a reaction with the bodywork i gave them a couple of coats of hammerite

and got some new stronger standard size springs to put them on :naughty

then i decided the hammerite wasn't enough so gave them a coat of bitumen

our trucks have more flex than you realise, tyre still aint off the floor

old spring and new spring

and before anyone says,,,why not just remove the shocker instead of usin spring compressors, i did try the bloody thing didn't want to budge lol

spring and spacer in place

i still need to adjust the torsions so at the min am a bit like a wedge of cheese lol

Looks good but why did you choose spacers rather than +2" springs?

cost doesn't make them easier to find :lol :lol i did look for springs but couldn't find any unless i wanted to ship them from australia

But I'd be worried about the spacers falling out.

 

[R1cho]

about £120 all in i aint done torsions yet will be plenty of pics then but for now there are pics on another certain site of the rear :lol

 

[makeitfit]

If you can get or afford +2" springs they will perform miles better than a packed spring. I'm still looking :thumbs

 

[R1cho]

[makeitfit]
