But said that you need new coils to get lift at the back.

Maybe i dont understand how these things work...

So why then get spacer? Dont understand their logic...

Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge can give them a call to find out exactly how their lift works...

Nismo, post some of your new spacer pics here as well! Glad this finally came through - check it here

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
Ja sheesh, it has been a long slog till this point, so glad the end result is so positive, now just to finalise the rears and get tested and we have a much cheaper raised suspension excluding a lot of the downsides of the much more expensive suspension replacements, those mainly being a harder ride, which is something I have been trying to avoid. Nismo please post some more pics and some measurements. I am thinking of doing the 63mm lift, but with the replacement bar on it did drop by 15mm, so that would be a 48mm lift overall, happy days!
Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
Hi All,

I will ask Uys to post the measurements and pics, he dit take a lot of photos, he said he is going to make a guide how to do it....

Goodluck in doing it yourself, it was a mission the front ones.

The back doesn't look to be very difficult.

Unlikely that I will be doing it myself... Will probably take it to Mikem for installantion, unless you guys know of anyone else?

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
Yip,

You will need one of these as well to compress the springs, I don't think a normal coil clamp is going to work..

I can vouch for the truth in this. Normal clamps aren't strong enough for pajero coils!

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
Uys has got the spacers made up and look good, pricing is alittle higher than I had hoped, but the quality is very good and a much cheaper alternative to the suspension replacement by far.

To order spacers with Uys here is the link:

Here are a few pics os Nismo's Paj with the spacers fitted, and looks good.

So those that are looking for that extra lift, here is a solution, which everybody can use.

Cheers

Re: Van Zyls Springs, shocks and spacers?
Any recommendations on where to get them fitted? I was thinking Mikem...
