terrano back on the trails....

[Ryan]

ok im going to get 32 muddies on my nissan terrano and get back out in the dirt...... i have already done a 2inch suspention lift( springs and wound torsions) i want to go further up to allow for bigger tyres, problem is i dont want to just wind torsions up in the front because of CV angles etc......and not keen on doing a body lift at this stage............... what can i do??

[turoa]

could wind torsions and drop the diff mounts down? sas or just cut the guards. Cutting the guards gets my vots

For my meager input, I would suggest you seriously look at the option of a body lift.
It really isn't that hard to do and the only mods are the shortening of the bottom radiator hose, lengthening of one power steering hose, adjusting the bottom radiator cowling and loosening off of the fuel filler hose. Apart from the other bits that need un-clipping from the body work. I have a post somewhere on here detailing what I did on my 2" body lift.
I had my truck certed for 33" 15x8 rims and there was just a little rubbing on the front guards on the road
This was the rear of the front. With the flaring and mud flaps removed I think there would have been no rubbing at all.
Off road may be different as I have no sway bars so I get maximum flex in this rig, with longer travel shocks and springs on the rear. I will be running 33"s next year and I believe there will be a minor amount of trimming needed.
With your 32" tyres, you should have little probs I suspect.

I had a petrol and did the same things with 2" suspension lift, wound and reindexed torsion bars cut guards front and rear and running 33's. Either go a calmini kit or SAS. It's a no brainer really. You will also bend/snap the steering idler arm, I did mine three times.

Check with your certifier re the Calmini kit as when I asked they wouldn't allow it. The drag link is welded.
