Looking good Dave. Go the hardtop :youdaman:


I wasn't being sarcastic I am really interested in your kits I was merely pointing out that I tried Old Std's and they were S@$T so I tried the lifted ones and it leveled it up good as.

David


You've got me wrong Dave. I was being serious :D I really like the hard tops :D

As for the springs, unfortunately there are infinate combinations of springs, but I can only pic one to base this kit around. At this point in time the kit has not been tested, so it may work out that it requires 2" lifted rears to get the desired result. We will have to wait and see.

Cheers
Pete


I would like to find a good spring setup for the rear, I like the flex in the front but the rear is the pits.

PS cheers for the comment on Hartops.

David

that's true you dont but im not looking at extending my chasis and only doing half ruff, but at the same time i need to buy new shackles as mine are 6inch long eye to eye which is way to long for any thing! also fat zook what will be required to install this kit? as in what will need to be done cutting welding?


Luke, we have thrashed this out so many times on this site, there is no such thing as a half rear up front, it is a stupid term usually used by uninformed people. In the end there are a lot of different ways that this can be done, the worst of these being with the use of extended shackles. I can argue this with you because I have done dozen of these and have tried most of the methods of doing the conversion, each has its pro's and con's, but none can be termed "a half ruf"

Could a half RUF be when you only use 1 rear up front, leave the other standard. hehe
