Cheers for the info, il defo sort out the bump stops. Last thing i need is to bend the springs on the first outing.

And Bourneyo you were definitely right about the G-clamps. I havent finished the first leaf yet and i have already snaped one of the G-clamps. :roll:

Not suprised at all ferris.... A couple of carver clamps would do the trick! They're not so cheap though... :|

if i remember rightly after trial and error we used 2 jacks and 2 mole grips and a rock :lol:......but it worked! Those who have...use......those who dont...improvise! :twisted: :P :twisted:

Sweet, just get a 2" body lift, some 31s under it and you will be the same height as me :P

Not quite ready for a outing yet unfortunately, still got to do the wheel bearing, and the bump stops :roll: Im hoping to be back in the mud by next weekend.

Would love to get some 31s on it, but havent got the cash for the body lift at the moment :cry: Planning on getting some 29s, think they should do the job :twisted: :twisted:

No prob's...giv i a shout when ur ready, your running colways right? They're not brilliant but i managed ok with them just let the pressure down and you'll be a bit happier with the result till you can afford something else!

And when ur ready for the body lift i'm sure i can make it cheaper for ya ;-)

Body lift.... Can be done for under a tenner...

Take a length of 1"/2"/3"/4" Infact how ever much you want your body lift to be...

Cut it into 8 blocks (these are the body lift blocks) Then get 8 nuts, bolts, washers and springs washers... And hey presto... one body lift :mrgreen:
