yeah will do but it will be tomorrow now coz of the dark. On the rear springs it said SUZ 4+1 so does this mean it has had an extra leaf put in?

Re: suspension too hard!

Well today i have a pulled a leaf from each spring and it is still quite firm but is 100 times better! The height difference is minimal but the ride is now bareable and its road manners have also improved.I have left the rear shocks still in their modified position due to them not having much travel...

Re: suspension too hard!

Even when...

Re: suspension too hard!

For colinl's benefit this is how your shock is mounted when its standard On to the rear of your springplate My apologies for the poor quality of the photo! This is how mine is set up.I have tried it without any shocks on and its still the same so is this not the springs that are too hard? I measure...

Re: suspension too hard!

does it have an anti-roll bar up front? i hear that they can also have an effect of the amount of flex you get, after doing your shocks and brake hoses remove the anti-roll bar, im sure scottie or tom will correct me if im wrong, but i would say the same as them that your shocks arent long enough.....

Re: suspension too hard!

does anybody know where i can get these longer shocks from or what i can get them off? I could probably fabricate upper shock mounts quite easily so that wouldnt be a problem if need be.
