Hi all,
I got a set of old man emu 50mm lifted rear hilux springs and currently putting them in the front, my old modified landcruiser springs are getting a wee tad tired :lol:

I want a couple of bits of info;
how long do I make the shackels

Do I have to drop the front hangars as well to compensate for diff angle or not

Measure Riks truck - its all done on there. You don't need to do the front drop but it will help with crossover and also castor angle so I recommend it.

You doing crossover as well? You'll want to with that sort of lift.

cheers Steve,
going to have a look at GC's set up tomorrow, he's closer than Rik :lol:

I'm looking at doing the crossover at the same time, where did you get the machining done for thr link to the power steer :?:
