ok so my shackles all round are very vertical, so what i was thinking for the front was to get the main and second leaf from some stock rears and use them to replace the ones on my front packs. i know it will move the diff forward and i already have a spacer. my question is will he be possible and would i lose hight at all? i did see a post before but couldn't re find it. it didnt really answer the question any way. thanks |

That de[ends largely on the condition of your springs. But I would imagine you will lose some height due to the shackle angle becoming closer to horizontal. Its only a couple hours work. Give it a go. Also watch your brake lines and shock length and position under flex. |

I have always used lifted rears on mine and had good results, but I have done small chassis extensions at the same time. |

Search RUF. There are a few good thread in the 'rigs' section on the mod. It can most certainly be done on a budget, but its a very hands-on mod. |

Can you hold it up under the car next to the current spring and see how much farther forward the shackle eye sits? |
