I bought a complete 4" lift kit for my GU patrol a few months back and decided to install it whilst waiting to get the head for my TD42 back from the machine shop.
Please keep in mind this kit may not be legal everywhere and you should check before making the commitment.
The Ironman 4x4 kit included front and rear springs and shocks, upper and lower rear trailing arms, sway bar links, castor plates, brake lines and a bunch of hardware.
I bought a steering damper separately also from Ironman 4x4.
This job is not without its challenges, but can be done by the DIYer with a bit of patience and a whole lotta pushing, shoving, lifting, drilling and sweating.
Thanks for clicking on the thumbnail and giving me and the shed a go.
Cheers
HARRY

Hey, I notice after you put the new suspension in and lowered the car...its still sagging at the front end. Is that why people do like 2inch rear and 3inch front suspension?

@harrywalker968 6 месяцев назад

rear should be bit higher on any,,truck,,to carry the weight.. japs should of copied ford f100 4x4 suspension.. 2ft travel std.. pinion,diff angle, is only rubber degreed 'c' bushings. cheap.. plus, the radius rods dont need touching. for 2'' , just re drill the coil buckets.. raised a bronco, solid front diff sas, 6''. std parts.. plus,,you dont have those bs cv joint crap..

I think it is just the load rating on the rear springs. I bought the highest rated ones as I was putting a lot of weight on the back, draw system, twin wheel carrier etc... I have to do a bunch of other work to the truck now, but once that is sorted I think I will replace the rear springs for softer ones. Sorry about taking so long to get back to you and thank you for watching my videos. Cheers HARRY

What is the brand of the kit ?

@HarrysBigShed Год назад

I used the Ironman 4" Kit

@harrywalker968 6 месяцев назад

ever looked at an f100 4x4 set up.. only mod needed is 'c' bushes, 2-7 degree, for pinion angle, no radius rods needed. coil buckets can be drilled 2'' higher, to raise 2''. with 2ft travel std, no need for coils.. the rear, just block it, cheap.. japs too fkn involved..like 3k involved..@@HarrysBigShed

@harrywalker968 6 месяцев назад

the coils need,or should be,,from factory,, tied in top & bottom,,like real trucks,, ie,, f100.. learn..@@HarrysBigShed

@harrywalker968 6 месяцев назад

1 thing needed to be upgraded,,is those plastic wheel studs..change them out for some 1/2'' or 9 1/6, u.s. ford truck studs.. they dont break.. plus, those trailing arms need to be a ft longer.. all round..with johnny joints,,not that bolt thru hole bs.. they dont twist.. mate with 80 series, ripped brkts off diff.. no twist.. unlike ford.. winner.. @@HarrysBigShed

@harrywalker968 6 месяцев назад

why the fk,,do you need a spanner,,to turn the damn hubs.. thats 50,s tech.. @@HarrysBigShed

Drop boxes would have been easier

@HarrysBigShed Год назад

G'day Ben, Through the research that I had done before I started installing the lift, drop boxes would only provide benefits if I were going for a 6" lift in order to further correct the caster angle. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy more of my content. Cheers HARRY

@benwilkinson7181 Год назад

Drop boxes are good for 3”-6” road runner or superior make them

@harrywalker968 6 месяцев назад

maybe fit an f100 front diff.. they work, no mods needed.. plus,, no fkn cv bs.. the drop, or pumpkin, or diff centre, can be had left or right.. chev, ford dodge.. plus, a miriad of axle shaft lengths..brakes, lockers, ratios.. from 1960 , to 2034.. all interchangeable..
