rear springs for RUF 410

[chrome]

hey all, any ideas on what i can use for my rear leaves. iv done ruf and want to balance out the back for height. or should i cut off the mounts and drop them down 2"??????

[UBZ]

mix and match , 2/3 inch lifted rears , mazda 323 , feroza , carry , swift springs. any thing the same width as a zuk.

Should be able to come up with some thing slightly longer that will work.

Where are the pics of the RUF??

[chrome]

the back is sitting up a little cos of my driveway so about 50mm lift is still needed.... i like the way its sitting like that

poor mans lift park on a hill

[mroffroader]

Holy shit man how is that connected to the chassis

[coxsy]

hey chrome did i met you up at woodhill one sat lent you a spanner

[chrome]

na coxey iv never been there mate. and mr o its gonna be welded strait on with a couple of lap plates on the underside

[chrome]

Holy shit man how is that connected to the chassis

its only tacked together when its done properly itl all be mint and the chassis will be capped off , its only like this so i can trailer it to work

[coxsy]

ok then there a snap type truck out there

[chrome]

hahaha two bogun machines he musta been from out west

[UBZ]

shackle angle at the front looks terrible.
What rear springs have you used up front?, dosn't look like they are longer at all.



How many mm of chassis extension? from what ive read on outers any more than about 60-100mm and you start fouling the steering and the shocks wont line up.

[chrome]

can all be changed easy what angle do the shackels need to be?? i just made them the same as they were and the shackle mounts have only been moved about 60 mm foward. the springs are rears off a 413 so the diff is foward by only 15mm just enough to clear the tyres from the firewall

[UBZ]

angled forward about 15 to 20 deg, bottom further forward than top, bout the same as it was before the extension. might have to shorten the shackles abit to get it right.

[chrome]

sweet il have a play round with shackle lengths to sort it cheers dude

[chrome]

scratch that imgonna cut out the round crossmember and move it back till its all good about 45mm i think then il fizz it all up and weld on some towing hook mounts at the same time

[chrome]

got this done today

[mroffroader]

Stu, you are ghetto fabulous

[chrome]

so badass i fill my radiator from blak creek yo

[mroffroader]

chur! *wipes nose down arm loudly*

[UBZ]

needs a confederate flag . Booty but looks like it should work sweet.

did you sort out the rear springs to suit the RUF?

[chrome]

the flags in the roof of my garage and ithink il just leave the rearfor now. il look for front shockies first, is it commie wagon ones i need??
any suggestions

im gonna remove the guards too i think and flat fender it then chuck a bull bar on that chunk of steel i welded on

[chrome]

Your new Father inlaw been giving you ideas Stu

hey I'm probably a bit late in your thread but are you going to put some shackel stops on those front springs to stop them inverting, if they are like cruiser ones they flip back under with a good punch into a bank or something solid?

[chrome]

yeah i might do but im thinkin later on to run coil front and leave the rear leaves

[Sadam_Husain]

So what are you planning to chop off the front?

[chrome]

that bars been shifted back about 50 mm and the tube crossmember has been removed,

[chrome]

got a bit done finally, not finished but all welded and ready to clean up

[skid]

amazing how the shape of a truck can change after someone goes to a trial to watch

[chrome]

i hear ya, im still tryna decide whether to scrap that poo galv cage and start over

[turoa]

i hear ya, im still tryna decide whether to scrap that poo galv cage and start over
