Front Coil Conversion

Postby LN65 on Wed, 15 Jun 2016 2:03 +0000

Looking at doing a front coil conversion on my LN65...just wondering if anyone has any information, or suggestions on this?
Can't really find anything on the forum regarding this topic.
Obviously it needs to be engineer approved...and there would be quite a bit of work/$$$ involved, but does anyone have an idea where and what parts to source, or how to go about the conversion? All opinions/advice welcome.
Thanks.

Don't waist you time unless you have good fab skills and can weld to a cirt standard
Other wise you won't get it passed

3 link is the way to go
Google 4wu he has some go setups to look at
If you plane to street drive it stick with leaves

Either way you go you'll need crossover steer

I did mine in stages
Steering and drop hangers first, shocker tower and axel push second

Upto this stage took me all of about 7hr
Running 11" shocks from standard towers
Brought the high steer arms from westcore in the states, drop hangers from snake racing, ifs mount and diff support from buds, shocker from lowrange, whole kits owes me under 1k with shipping and wheel alignment

You don't need to do towers unless you plane to use 12"+ shockers, or push axel forward to run bigger then 33" tyres witch you won't get passed engineeres anymore
farting is alot like jxxxxxg off. both provide instant gratification, but neither is a long term solution to the actual problem......................
