Buying lift springs

[soalsix]

Where's the best place to buy lift springs? I thought about spoa, but reading the pros and cons I'm not so sure about it. So lift springs seem the better way to go

Llama 4x4 do decent springs.

Or you can go rears up front, YJs,

Ruf, would I be looking at a couple inches lift doing that?

If you go for new springs Dave @ Llama 4x4 is the guy to ask...
Ive got llama +2" front springs. They are a lot more comfy than the standard springs I had on, but were slightly too long so required a small shackle extension as well (equated to +0.5" lift)

Or correctly positioned bumpstops

lol you keep moaning about the bump stops but the axles weren't even close to where they should have been when the shackle hit the stops

[ScottieJ]

Well they are badly designed springs then as you shouldn't have to run longer shackles with lift springs.

Either way you can set up the bump stops to stop shackle inversion without loosing much up travel.

[twiss]

nothing wrong with slightly longer springs really.... give more flex if anything!
but yes they are too long for the vehicle really

[ScottieJ]

No I would rather run a longer spring.

However they are badly designed as a 'bolt on' lift spring if you cant run stock shackles without the risk of inversion.

[twiss]

Perfect for me as I had the shackles anyway.... shame you convinced me to take them off in the first place I won't listen in future (not that I do not)
