Springs over axle convesion
« 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....... :cry:  
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

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-)
