Title: Springs over axle convesion
Post by: longman on September 26, 2008, 04:06:32 PM

Is it loads of work to do the above. I only want a body lift and 33's. I know I will have to get the gearbox tilting wedge. Not so botherd about hardcore off roading. I've seen loads of Toyota pick-ups done like this.
It's all about money. I have none.......  
Thanks.

if 33s are as big as you want to go just a body lift or spring shackels will do bothe are cheap and easy to do spring over is a fair bit of work and would cost more

did you just sneeze stew?  as bubba said mate the spring over isnt really that cheap as an option. the shackles and body lift is deffo the cheapest.

Yep, got 33's on the CJ at the mo, with nothing more than a shackle lift  :-D

If you go with longer shackles, you might think about some longer shocks too. Mine are nearly max'ed out.

For me this is just a temporary measure until I get me lift fitted, which should be soon 8-)
