rear springs

Post by coxsy »

add 30mm spacers to the rear springs on the safari sits level again now, my spring compressers were not up to the job browered some from the garage across to road, and cut down the gear and tool box in the back 50 mm to give us some more room for the soft stuff to fit in

Where did you get your spacers from coxy? Need some 30mm spacers for the front of mine.

This weekend went into the 10hr track in the akatarawa forest with blackbetty, turoa and CCVC. Good trip but our factory rear locker finally gave up after 6 years of punishement.

This was a CCVC club trip not a ORE trip, if you are a member of annother club you would be able to come on the next trip as a visitor if your truck meets the trip requirements. We are doing the rollercoaster on the 16th of December.
