Raised suspension

Post by Traveler »

Got my Hilux back early this evening with the lifted suspension. Did at East Rand Springs, using Monroe Gas Magnum.

New heavy duty coils, inserted one more leave in the pack. New shackles, new bushes and new u-bolts.

Hy staan nogal baie meer level as vantevore.

Voor het hy 72mm gelig. Ek is nie seker oor agter nie.

Myne is amper 70 mm gelig - toe fit ek die 4mm bash plate die volgende dag. Nou "ge-settle" op so 60 tot 65 mm lift.

Staan nou mooi gelyk - voor tot agter. EN die links tot regs "lean" is ook nou uitgesorteer. :)

Nah, only did the wheels on the left. :mrgreen:

(I'll post pics of the whole bakkie when it is not too dark to take the snaps)

East Rand Springs or General Springs do exactly the same work, at identically the same price. The only components that they do not make/manufacture themselves are the bushes and the shocks. Both do work for Toyota Dealers within their respective areas.

Upgrade excluding shocks is approx R2500.00 (and they are doing plenty Hilux's), including SFA's.

Here is a picture showing the Hilux as a whole. See, I did the wheels on the right as well. :thumbup:

Baie dankie Rudi, kans gekry om hulle bietjie te ervaar die naweek, en die verskil is ongelooflik.

Hanteer beter op teerpad (baie gemakliker), doen beter op grondpad beslis meer vasvoetig, en in die rowwe klip was die Hilux steeds ongelooflik goed.

Dit lyk Baie goed.

Kom ons reel 'n GTG dan vergelyk ons die suspension van jou Hilux en die van myne. Sal graag wil sien hoe weeg die twee op teenoor mekaar.
