| Post subject: | Installing Suspension Lift |
Hey All, Sorry if these has been posted already, I searched but found nothing. Im about to buy a new jimny with all these 2010 plate deals going on at the moment so im doing all my research trying to see whas feasible. Should have it within the week hopefully http://outdoorauto4x4.com/p/989392/suzu ... -pack.html I have my eye on this kit and i was just wanting to get some opinions on how difficult it would be to put everything on the vehicle. The guards are all bolt on so disregard them but my concern is the suspension. I have reasonable mechanic skill more on motorbikes but ive never touched car suspension. Any info would be awesome. THanks |

suspension is easy to install you may want to grab urself a set of thesehttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/COIL-SPRING ... 2ea90e2f72 for installing the new spring and to get the old one's out just flex it out with the shock taken out have ur new spring ready and just put them in and the rest in just simple bolt on stuff like panhard etc |

cool thanks ellis! And in regards to all the bolt on stuff is there supposed to be certain tuning settings? or is it just line this line up with that line?? |

i have never fitted adjustable panhard rod's but they are the only thing u may have to adjust after you install every thing go for a drive around town and on the highway and if it feels like it pulling 2 one side or a bit weird take it in for a wheel alignment but u have to remember it will feel weird becouse of the lift so it may be hard 2 pick if its the panhard or just the lift but if it is pulling to one side take it in |

no need for a coil compressor on a jimny, just jack it both sides, disconnect the panhard and the whole diff will drop low enough to take old springs out and put new ones in without compressing. |

THanks Howdy, Make sure you get the caster correction bushes also, that size lift will need it. As for the panhard rods you will need a uber big shifter to undo/tighten the locking nut. You will need to adjust it a couple of times until the suspension settles, this includes a steering alignment each time if your fussy about where the steering wheel is. Cheers |

imo bush's are not need'ed most if not all caster correction bushes for suzuki's are made of Polyurethane and this will limit flex |

those aren't really needed... might be handy but are not necessary. you can just drop the diff down and pop the coils in and out =] only time you really need them is if you have coil over's I say give it a go yourself. make sure you wash the underside of your car really well! laying on your back undoing a bolt is a stupid awkward position while sand falls into your eyes is not fun. but if your car is brand new it wont be a problem I guess. make sure you have some good jack stands! |
