Lifted!!


In an effort to get around the horrible rubbing noises that the boggers were making. I had to produce some sort of suspension lift. It had to be in a hurry as well, because I was due to enter an event on the monday and I was in a helluva rush. I had a mate that I was told was selling some +2" springs but I couldn't get a hold of him in time. So I managed to get my hands on some nylon blocks to cut some spring spacers. I had the blocks roughly shaped down at a friend's woodwork shop, and then tidied up courtesy of my new latheman (Bigup ya self Nick!).

Their install took a long time because I did it myself, but the task itself was fairly simple, the only tricky part was that 6mm mild steel plates had to be cut in order to mount the shock absorber base 2" higher on the front (to avoid unnecessary bottoming out) But given the timescale I was working with, the back had to be left as is, but I haven't heard any thumping as yet!
