the best truck driven by the worst driver will not go any further than a standard truck driven by a good driver.

EDIT: Spelling

lucky i have a really good truck !...cos im a crap driver

I think Wopass is not right, it must be a really kickass truck!

you said it

Does any one make bj spacers here in nz??

[rangimotors]

i think there was a guy down this way that made a few sets and i noticed one of the project threads up north was using a set so yea i think you could get them locally

[nzhunter]

You could get a drop down kit like my surf had so i could fit 35s:

Mine had extended shakles and lifted springs at the back instead of lifting blocks

How much did the kit cost??,

And thanks for your feed back,

And im still thinking that Bj spacers are the way to go so far,

[86-surf]

Any one selling 4;88 gears?, I found a set of 33'' tires and i don't think my lil 2.4 will handle the 33'' tires to well, or is there any other way to lower the gear ratio?, thanks,




So far these are my options of lifting the front of my surf,


bj spacer witch ive been told wear the cvs out faster so not to keen on them,

Then there the lift option up there, witch i think is a bracket lift, and ive been told to stay away from them,

is there any other way of lifting the front of the surf!

other then thoes and a body lift,

Thanks

with a 50mm body lift and slightly wound up torsion bars you should fit 33's, how high do ya want the thing? thats probably the best you'll get without digging deep into those pockets

i want it to be prity high but i will see how it looks wen it's got the 33'' on

[MATT4U]

if you wind up the front torsion bars you may want to re index them at the same time other wise the front will be way to stiff.

I may have a body lift to sell soon to, just deciding weither or not to cut my floor out to lift the gear box up or what.

Ive done that, body lift i may consider, but ill be doing the body lift bj lift and 33'' tyres at the same time because of the cert thing

[rangimotors]

just get a wof first then you have 6months to dick around with it and worry about cert

(ducks for cover)

Good point




Well i have done some reserch on how much the bj spacers are,

None are less then a $190 nzd, So theres no use buying out of nz,

And i think the guy from nz makes them for $195 a bit more then what i was hopping,

Does any one no where theres a laser cutter by any chance?

[MATT4U]

i think worsel on here was making them

[86-surf]

thanks

I've got 33"s and my "little 2.4" spins the tyres nicely

Uve got 4;88 gears tho don't you?

[Smurf]

my old IFS Surf

33s
60mm body lift
50mm suspension lift, Hilux rear springs and wound up torsion bars.
4.3 ratio diffs.
Was still quicker on road than 2.8 hilux running 31s on 4.3 diffs.

[86-surf]

whas it just torstion bars wound up on the front or did you use bj spacers aswell?

[Smurf]

Mine was done by adjusting the torsion bars only. But I would use ball joint spacers now if I was still running IFS

After 5 years of use off road, the chassis let go of the steering box.
Had been repaired two or three times previously but gave up in the end and pulled the crush tubes right out of the chassis.

[86-surf]

DAMN! so bj spacers and laxed tbars are the way to go you recon??,

Thanks for your feed back,

And yous say i have bad spelling damn!,


Would you please repeat that?

Im running 33's with a 2inch body Lift , 40mm lift front torsion bars
I still have a slight rubbing at full compression on the seem behind the plastic guard liner, but nothing a BFH wont fix

I have 1inch ball joint spacers to go in ,but they require either heating (slight bending) of the upper A-Arm to fit to bolts or tapping the upper ball joint to accept a bolt.

Give Muddyhilux a PM he made his own BJ spacers and is in Auckland

As for CV angles you can put a 1inch spacer between the 2 rear diff mounts and chassis ,which will reduce the CV angles.

Im personally investigating swapping an entire Prado KZJ78 solid axle coil setup into my Surf
