letsgetdirty Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sorry for chinning you guys so often but the landies getting attention finally and im on a roll,my winch has come and by the time ive sorted out the bumper i know theres going to be a lot more weight on the front so here are a few questions, The first is can i fit a 2inch lift on the front by using just the new springs and keeping my standard shocks? Secondly do i have to make up longer brake lines? Thirdly do they have to be heavy duty?? once again sorry for pestering you all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 If the shocks are not changed, no. The shocks are what limit extension travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play around with lowered mounts, but you would be better off with matched dampers. However... if you did want a set of lowered turrets I have a set going spare (and I'm local). Brake lines - get some longer ones.... cheaperst place (and with the best service) is Llama 4x4 - who is on this forum - so try and get a forum discount - www.Llama4x4.co.uk Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike4444244 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi When I lifted mine i cut the flexi hose mounts off and welded them on lower, this means I can use standard hoses, but then I don't use mine in Extreme offroading, more overland type things.... Llama4x4 is the place for longer hoses! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tris Cocks Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 QT services do an extra long brake hose which is about 1.6m long that goes along the chassis to the point where rear the radius arm meets the chassis and then runs along the radius arm to the brakes, the advantage of this is that you will never be restricted by the length of the hose, IIRC they are about £35 each.

Theres no danger of that, as it's wiring is spread liberally around the unit/interior. . See you in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
