Suspension mods/lift kits

[Austblue]

They're supposedly very good bubba.

[Bubbalucci]

cool i cant wait

[Mud16]

i`m going Snake spaacers and Tough Dog shocks because I was told they can be rebuilt

[Eelesy]

kinda bringing this thread back from the dead i guess, but the info im after is with the blokes running the Dobinsons 2in lift kit,

How much did you pay whether you got it supplied and fitted,
or just supplied and did it yourself?

the reason i ask is i was qouted $1980 fitted. and i have nothing to compare it too.

[cyberhonky]

buzzy got his a fair bit cheaper

[Eelesy]

fair bit cheaper is an understatement!

[cyberhonky]

alright then- about 30% cheaper. incidently, i went to ironman today to grab a pair of their lifted springs (quoted ~$147pr) but they didnt have any in stock- bugger. evidently in on the 20th march

[sam]

Hey Tri-saurus if you aren't in a huge hurry you can buy my Dobinson front struts very cheap so PM me if your interested

[Austblue]

Don't go Ironman!

Call up dobinsons in Smeaton grange and talk to the guys they'll look after you with the parts then just get a local trustworthy guy to fit them.

Ironman are made in china and sub standard from what I've read around.

[cyberhonky]

yep, i'll give them a call- but where the hell is 'Smeaton grange'?

[Buzzy]

Cyber,
Ring this No: 0246478295
Talk to Martin

Buy direct from him and get them installed down your way somewhere, cheapest way of doing it.

Tell him Trent & Ben said hello

[cyberhonky]

thx buzzy, i'll call them this morning.

[Eelesy]

I dont even know where Smeaton Grange is either, but i bet its bloddy far from Perth

[Magilla]

ATS in Geelong Bilsteins shocks and struts fitted, wheel alignment $1300 extra $600 for springs. 35mm lift with springs if I remember right
Better start saving my beer cans me thinks.

[rick]

had the iron man kit fitted about 5 or 6 weeks ago now, cant praise it enough,drives great, and i recon i got more like 65 mm lift from the kit plus i went 285's on the rubber

[Buzzy]

Hey rick the recommened rim width for your 285's is 7.5-9 inch rims. Will the fact that you are only running stock 7" rims affect anthing here?
Anyone know how this works?

[Austblue]

Yeah I spoke with MT about this and they were a bit confused because the MTZ catalogue says 7-9" rims for 285s and 8-9 for 33"FCII but the rep assured me it was an error on the MTZ page and said they wouldn't warrant the tyres on 7" rims because of the added stress on the sidewalls.

I don't know that anyone has put Ks on theirs but rick and tuff triton both went the 33s on stockers.

[rick]

must say the walls arnt bulging at all

[cyberhonky]

rick-post some pics side on can ya

[Eelesy]

gettin a bit off topic...

maybe resurect this thread to discuss tyre sizes on stock rims.
