Ya, the springs.......
They didn't show up last week, so i emailed him on friday and he reckoned the end of this week.
Cutting it very fine, if there's any probs such as driveline vibration and i need to make or order spacers for the transfer case cross member its going to be frantic!!!!!

Fingers crossed!!!

I checked that link you posted to that photo site, saw the pics of thompsons on the 8/1/05. Looks like a challenge!!!
We don't get good clay tracks down here, i miss them!!!!! :lol:

When you do your lift, check your brakes on the local wof machine, as you may need to make another bracket for the load sensing valve for the brakes.
My 2" lift has caused the rear brakes to be bipassed, and all the braking is on the front.

Spring should sit "flat" and measure 207mm from inner of mounting loop to inner of mounting loop.

Yeh, should be sweet, we had the Coast to Coast trucks in town today for scruitineering, they set of tomorrow morning.
Went round every Safari i could find, collecting ideas.
Noticed that most of the ones running 4" lifts had approx 10mm spacers in the transfer case, and the 2" lifts were running none, or 5mm. Got some good ideas on what you can use as spacers!!! All of them beat the pants of the $113 Fully Equipped wanted for the spacers!!!!

I think there were about four of the 30 vehicles running tyres smaller than 35".
I bursting with ideas and new schemes :lol:

Don't ya just hate that!!!

Hmm, if i get my ass of to bed i may be able to get up early and get some photos of the Coast to Coast trucks all going through the mackly river. That would mean getting up at 5.00am.
Four hours sleep.
