Just wondering if you can get longer front shocks for a Coily? If so where, and how much? I just put some 40mm Spacers in the front, to level it out because of it sagging due to the winch/bar. Car allready has 2" Spring lift (Lovell springs i think) And now ive got pretty limited shocks left compared to the backk, It doesnt feel to bad to drive, just concerned. Cheers. Jamon. |

hey the only ones are ultima struts and ebay sell them for 200 a pair normally. but they are only 40mm bigger. what i did was spun up some extensions on the lathe. but i have custom 100mm rasised coil springs. |

That wouldn't give travel though would it? Just height? |

i think he means by putting the new strut in you gain travel and by doing the extension you gain hieght plus crash and die when they break |

I've heard of a few guys fitting Hilux lifted front struts with minimal mods into the front of the coily, I'll be looking at this in a few weeks. Will do a write up in the Tech Section if anyone's interested. |
