Hi Tom,

What's the best way or is it posible to convert a lwb patrol to a 4 link rear suspension and a 5 link front suspension or what's best?

Can it be certified to be road legal?

Wow awesome work Tom.
What does the rear flex like now with later model springs? pics maybe? I have a pair of them sitting in garage is it worth the trouble putting them in my yn60?

Thanks Stu

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Sun Apr 21, 2013 9:16 am

They are about 150mm longer than Yn60 rear leaves. The conversion is the same as the Falcon conversion but you don't have to muck around with different leave widths. All you need to do is whack off the factory hangers and fab some new ones and whip up longer shackles.
Cheers Tom

Haa I was waiting for someone to bring up the cable ties. They're just temporary until the fella who owns it buys some hose clamps :wink:
