After creating the snorkel topic which the jury is still out as to whether it increases fuel consumption and increase engine performance, I'm creating another topic to pick your collective brains.
Is it possible to raise the rear suspension without changing the leaf springs by using extended shackles or using lift blocks?
Me being the cheap bastard, I plan to get the ARB bullbar model which allows the original fog lights to be retained. I will also change the front coil springs to raised Kings Springs (KTFR-101HD)to compensate for the additional weight and will also change the shocks to Koni or Bilstein.
The ride of the original APM leaf springs are acceptable to me especially when it is loaded with cargo.
Assuming that the front Kings Springs gives a lift of 45mm nett after installation of the ARB bulbar, the rear shackels need to be longer from original by 90mm.
That seems far too long!
Or use 45mm lift blocks to raise the rear?
Thanks again mates.
:evil:
