Nismo,

Pls se http://www.mikemsuspensions.co.za or http://www.stofpad4x4.co.za, for front spacers, rear prob polyurethane same as 80 series at around 20USD as the cheapest online.

Will be finalising prob 2nd week in Jan so it can be a lot easier to order and install.

Cheers and post some pics from de wildt.

David,

Jy is welkom, enige tyd. Skakel net vooraf sodat ek by die huis kan wees. Nismo het 'n paar dae terug kom kyk en hy het te vrede geklink. Hy het ook kontak gemaak met my vriend wat my spacers gemaak het. Sy naam is Chris Malan en sy tle is 083 310 3015.

Groete, Cloyd.

Dankie Cloyd, sal probeer 'n draai maak Donderdag, sal jou bel.

Baie Dankie

David

Hi Cloyd

Baie dankie vir jou tyd laas week, Chris het gese hy sal vir my kan kyk die 9de wanneer hy terug is by die werk.

Ek het ook nou net op die 4x4community forum 'n ander idee gesien. Basies is dit dieselfde konsep as joune maar hulle gebruik net ronde bars and dan flatbar om die spacer te maak.

@Davidvan - Cloyd se spacers lyk na die beste idee, as jy die hele schock met sy spring sak dan word daar nie verander aan die springs en alles nie. Ek kan nie wag vir Chris om terug te wees nie!

Thx Nismo,

If you can keep us updated on this one, would be great.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Hope you all had a great feastive season!

Like I said before in David's thread - I'm in for a group buy if you guys can find someone to manufacture the spacers for the Gen 3 at an affordable price!

My running boards are not in the best shape anymore!
At least I got a bit of lift with the 265/75/16 tyres I've put on now, but you can never have enough!

Enjoy!

Cloyd, how did you remove the "cup" in the reat where the coil sits in?

4ePikanini said that it is welded to the body but I've seen that yours does have the spacer in.

[4ePikanini]

just to make it clear. The big cup that houses the entire coil has ring inside it welded to it that centers the spring.

The bolt in the middle is a subframe bolt that needs to be removed (along with other bolts) for the entire spring housing to separate from the monocoque.

[Nismo]

So it is possible to remove the whole coil housing to install a spacer?

[4ePikanini]

So it is possible to remove the whole coil housing to install a spacer?

Yes - If you remove the whole subframe that the entire suspension and rear diff bolts to so you can drop it enough to add spacers but I believe you will then need 4 spacers for the rear subframe.

But by doing so you gain only ground clearance on the body and not the diff.
