Springs

Deffo not, so i have gangsta lean! Need spacer!

That's a shame,
Speak to Russ.

There are a few pics from our day today at Silverdale. In the Events section.
I was pleased with those tyres!
Still need my Diamond Claws!!!

hey guys, yes the longer front spring was a modification after some feedback, so if you want to swap it for another longer one thats no problem just let me no

Ah that explains it i may be in touch then ! Thanks

Hang on, i thought the longer spring went on the back?

Mine appears to have shrunk back to standard bluejimny...... and the springs and shocks have magically replaced themselves with standards as well!
Fancy sending me 4 to sort this out? lol

The longer one is as mention for the drivers side front. The lean issue is most common on rhd vehicles due to the battery etc I've been told. Mine is a lhd, and the original springs are the same length. Since I bought ProComps from the uk, one of the springs were longer. I fitted this spring one my left front side (since is is my driver side), and even though my original springs are equal length, I haven't noticed any reverse lean (taller instead of lower). My tips is therefore, newer the less, put the longest spring on the drivers front side.

Hi Guys started fitting the new suspension from jimnybits, have the rear done ok and have read on here that there is no problem fitting the front springs I have done the pasenger side front it was a absolute cow to get in and the drivers side spring is longer i can not see any way of fitting this in, am i not doing something right, i am just jacking the vehicle up by the chassis so the axle will drop but it does not drop very far even with the shock removed, HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP, I had to use spring compressers on the passenger side and still had trouble getting it in, it is only a two inch lift, also on front shocks should you screw the thread on the top mount all the way down until it won`t go any further

The brake hoses will now be stopping the axle dropping, disconnect caliper and try should be loadsa room.

Thats why ots good to fit extended ones at the same time.

Cheers will let you know tomorrow

I managed to get in +3 springs and 1.5''spring spacers easily, the front o/s was the only one I needed to use clamps, the only thing that was holding the axle on was the bushes on the trailing arms.

yeh theres a LOT of room once you have the hoses off or have longer ones on, just look at peoples pics of flexing!

My 2" springs came on without compressor-clamps. But yes, it was a bit of hassle. You'll need muscles and a will. We also unscrewed the anti roll bar, but did not need to disconnect anything on the brakes to get them fixed. I changed the brakelines afterwards, but if you are to change them, do it first!
