I'm not sure what u mean mate ... Looks fine to me

Can't tell if he's used lift blocks from pics, which are a cheap way of doing it rather than upgraded springs but either way it will out perform a Terrano with its solid axle up front.

Ahh, so he must of just stick bigger wheels on as the running gear didn't look nodded, apart from the steering.

could of been a body lift

that has been lifted thats for sure

 

[96terrano]

Yeah, just can't work out how. As running gear/ susp and shocks look standard spec.

probably just put the axle under the leaf springs or/and some longer top brackets on the leafs.

seies landies and sj's were axle over leaf.

putting axle uner leaf is easy way to gain
3 to 4 inches almost for free

has been frowned upon at times, think as
potentially if axle breaks free its really free
rather than being trapped inside frame and
spring.
