Tyres look good

[Jordi]

Cheers bud. I'm well happy with them. Just need some front flexi pipes now.

No lift springs required. Just new springs and a wee bit of trimming to the rear arches!

Was going to say, unless you've got the back full of stone, them there springs are knackered, like the tires.

Nice

[Jordi]

Back is full of stuff. Only alloys, car ramps nothing really heavy. Springs are knackered. Gonna stick some photos up.

Just waiting and saving for new springs.

[ianedwards]

Mine where knackered. I would love to get new springs, maby future purchase, they are so damn expensive. I bought some decent used ones and I think I added a leaf as well. Don't know how it's going to handle, but ill find out. may well end up taking the extra leaf out as i think its a bit to high. will find out when I drive it.

Presuming they are the same as SWB SJs you can get a set for less than £300.

I dunno whether to buy "off the shelf" or get another set from Llama. £500 including poly bushes and u bolts. Delivered.

[ScottieJ]

Was just thinking, rather than trim your rear arches as they are impossible to get hold of can you unbolt them and move them a bit further outboard so they clear the tyres or make up a custom set instead of the stock ones? Think it would deffo be a better option than trimming in case you ever wanted to put it back to 100% stock.

[Jordi]

I think they are welded on Scottie, haven't really had a close look yet. I've got a hold of some 2mm sheet steel. I was planning on cutting the originals out and making bigger versions that look very similar.

Might be breaking what's left of a kja soon mate

Rear arches are welded on on these.

Pretty sure there was someone on differs who used truck arches on the rear that didnt look too bad

like the wheel and tyre size combi, seems to be a common size tyre for the KJA
