Ironman suspension done

Post by Bushwacker »

Thanks to Wimpie for his kind heart & minus a luchbreak, I now have an offroad suspension fitted.I got it 2nd hand off a 2x4 hilux for R3500.00.
Including the extended shackles in the rear, I have a total of 60mm lift :thumbup:

hey guys,
iv been doing my ironman lift kit over the last 2days and wow didnt realise just how annoying tortion bars are and how hard it is to get the drivers side one out.
the front ends all done and its at 95cm from ground to wheel arch. is that about right? before it was on 89cm
also its got brand new 31" tyres
at least the rear should be alot easier. i hope.

Do the front bolt first, then the shackle side loosly. line up the axle & install u-bolts.
If you measure from the floor, you might include a flatter tyre on one side, so measure as I did in my ilistration :thumbup:
