Hi all, just a quick question.

I have some good spare standard rear springs and was wondering can I put them up the front and keep the rears in with extend rear shackles? Will Extend the front chassis and move the front hanger too.
I have some rear commodore wagon shocks and also some bilstein landy defender shocks for the extra height. Just need some lux ones for rear I suppose. Not sure if the landy ones would be suitable but they are expensive bilsteins so I hope!


Cheers!

Your plans sound fine, but the defender shocks won't work - they are far too stiff for a leaf sprung application and will make the ride terrible.

I had lovells defender shocks in mine, top mounts moved in however much they had to move in to fit, worked very well

Thanks mate, ultra quick reply. Dam I was hoping to use them but your prob right because I do have a hard time trying to compress them too.

Hi Royce, I don't get it...the mounts moved in on their own from stress or you moved them? Thanks

I moved em

[zookz]

Sorry I thought you were being sarcastic about it working well that's all lol.
I'll look into it. I would of thought you wouldn't have to move them. This is rear defender shocks we are talking in the front of Sierra yeah?

no defender rear in sierra rear

Commodore wagon rear shocks are the stingy sierra owner shock of choice for the front of a sierra

Ahh ok, lol I was going to put the defender ones in the front so I was a bit confused. That's cool then i'll just have to sort the front out with commodore pedders shocks...1 over standard haha.
