Buying lift springs
Buying lift springs
Where's the best place to buy lift springs? I thought about spoa, but reading the pros and cons I'm not so sure about it. So lift springs seem the better way to go

Re: Buying lift springs
If you go for new springs Dave @ Llama 4x4 is the guy to ask...
Ive got llama +2" front springs. They are a lot more comfy than the standard springs I had on, but were slightly too long so required a small shackle extension as well (equated to +0.5" lift)

Re: Buying lift springs
lol you keep moaning about the bump stops but the axles weren't even close to where they should have been when the shackle hit the stops

Re: Buying lift springs
Well they are badly designed springs then as you shouldn't have to run longer shackles with lift springs.
Either way you can set up the bump stops to stop shackle inversion without loosing much up travel.

Re: Buying lift springs
nothing wrong with slightly longer springs really.... give more flex if anything!
but yes they are too long for the vehicle really

Re: Buying lift springs
No I would rather run a longer spring.
However they are badly designed as a 'bolt on' lift spring if you cant run stock shackles without the risk of inversion.

Re: Buying lift springs
Perfect for me as I had the shackles anyway.... shame you convinced me to take them off in the first place I won't listen in future (not that I do not)
