Quick lift question

[ferris]

Cheers for the info, il defo sort out the bump stops. Last thing i need is to bend the springs on the first outing.

And Bourneyo you were definitely right about the G-clamps. I havent finished the first leaf yet and i have already snaped one of the G-clamps.

Not suprised at all ferris.... A couple of carver clamps would do the trick! They're not so cheap though...

if i remember rightly after trial and error we used 2 jacks and 2 mole grips and a rock ......but it worked! Those who have...use......those who dont...improvise!

I know everyone loves pictures, so i thought i would put up a before and after with my add-a-leaf kit

Top job bud...notice you got yer snorkle on as well! When d'ya think you'll be up for an outing?

Sweet, just get a 2" body lift, some 31s under it and you will be the same height as me

[ferris]

Not quite ready for a outing yet unfortunately, still got to do the wheel bearing, and the bump stops Im hoping to be back in the mud by next weekend.

Would love to get some 31s on it, but havent got the cash for the body lift at the moment Planning on getting some 29s, think they should do the job

No prob's...giv i a shout when ur ready, your running colways right? They're not brilliant but i managed ok with them just let the pressure down and you'll be a bit happier with the result till you can afford something else!

And when ur ready for the body lift i'm sure i can make it cheaper for ya ;-)

Body lift.... Can be done for under a tenner...

Take a length of 1"/2"/3"/4" Infact how ever much you want your body lift to be...

Cut it into 8 blocks (these are the body lift blocks) Then get 8 nuts, bolts, washers and springs washers... And hey presto... one body lift
