Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
I'm looking forward to this. I've got a 2005 3.2 Did LWB and would like to increase the front especially. I'm happy with the rear. I have a full OME kit and receive a 40mm height increased, but the engine bash plate still touches when coming down a trail, no issue going up. Was hoping that a spacer kit can be inserted and resolve this issue?!

If you do manage to secure some spacers for the gen3 I would also be up for a set. Cant have too much height :lol:

Hi All,

OK so there is a good interest on spacers, so will be going that route and see what we can get for the Gen3 and get a easy to buy spacer for the forum members. I have interactions with Bennie (Benhur) who previously did alot of work here as wel so I am getting info from him as he is a Supplier in his day job to me. I will try to meet with Cloyd next week as he has done some spacers as well and then also Andre Benson (now a Landy guy), will see what info we can get from him as he did similar on his "Swaart Skaap" SWB Gen3.

Who knows of a place in Diep River (Cape Town side), would like to get some more details here as it appears they have done this before and also Uys from Stofpad indicated he can make up but a single unit price is a little high so will see what that comes down to for 10 sets

This is going to take a little while to get sorted, but will keep updates coming.

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
Given the similarity in the suspensions of the Gen3 and Gen4 - do you think it would work on the Gen4's as well?

Which shocks are you guys intending to to use with the spacers? (given the extra length needed)

There seems to be mixed responses on the HDP ones - Im keen on the Bilstein shocks.

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
I'm also very interested in some of those spacers! :)

Apparently, the Gen3 GLX "Africa Edition" also had spacers - not sure who made them?

As far as I know, there aren't any shocks available for the Gen3 that have longer travel than standard (Bilstein, OME are the same as std, or very very close).

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
I am picking up my 16mm spacers this afternoon for the front, should lift me about 30-40mm. and at the rear I am putting in a 10mm conveyor rubber on top of the coil to level the car. Currently mine is nose down,(I think due to the Gbox and Bash plates added, so my setup if it works out should level my car nicely. I will take pics and post when done. Mine is not independent at the rear, so I cant use spacers. Will measure ans well.
