Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 As the header says, As part of my suspension plans I want PLUS 1+ Inch Turrets for the 90, its a long explaination why, and it may not work, should do, but......can't be bothered to make them for the money they seem to be... Who makes them ?... who's are the nicest, ? does anyone do them either Bare Metal etc (I'll be tweaking them hence why I want a 'MAKER' as they may supply bare etc)? and big Question, does anyone do them with an "Eye" loop type fitting ( A Pin / Bolt) at the top for shocker mounting rather than the standard "Pin" Type fitting. ?? Web sites and pics would be good, I have yet to get hold of Matt Lee (Lovely Quality) ... who I think may do them,.... but I'm open to suggestions !

landrover598 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Surely you can make those (to your exact spec), they look so easy to make even i could make them only a few bits of bent tube / bar and a bit of plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yeah, but I know how long it would take me, and for the money frankly its a bargain ! Tube + Time would just be silly, unlike the www.equipe4x4.co.uk s Tubular A Frame, nice but STUPID Money, and I'm thinking, dependant on how rear mod goes its on the "Make one" board.... http://www.equipe4x4.com/inglese/ARTICOLO....REAR%20TRIANGLE YIKES HOW MUCH !!!

Funny, I had exactly the same response when I asked about taller turrets too. Which shocks are you going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 14 or is it 15 inch travel. rear and other make 12 inch travel fronts...........knackered ........and haven't the drawings around to hand... ! Make poss RS5000 as cheapest one avilable then will get adjustable valved Res Shock to match suspension if it works Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Sounds good. X axled I haven't managed to get the full travel out of my 10.5" fronts yet. Rear's are only 9.5" to keep the springs in (well almost!) but body tub is still restricting travel at the mo. Does ok though on the Moglite mobile ramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 What shocks are you using Trev? Anyone know what length/travel standard shocks are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm running ProComp, several reasons but price was a pretty big factor Stock is arround 8" but it can vary (like 750x16s) amongst the manufacturers with some being pretty much the equivelent of +2"s!

Mark90 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I shall be using ES9000's, mainly due to price, and the various sise options available, just not sure what size yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
