Retroanaconda Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 One rather major downfall would be the fact that the rear springs wouldn't fit Unless you cut the chassis mounts off and welded 110 ones on, but that may be a bit extreme just for bigger springs.

stuck Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 ^^^ As above. Would be easier to upgrade with kit designed for a 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 There are some good guides to springs on the Tech Archive that would probably answer your questions, springs are relativly cheap anyways. I used one of the threads as a guide and now have FRONT NRC4304 REAR DA4202 They are are a mix of performance/heavy duty springs I think for RRC's, I have some terrafima big bore shocks, the springs do have a bit of a lift but not so much as the ones I took of it. I have a heavy bumper and winch and intending on a bonnet mounted wheel. It can be a bot of a bumpy ride on back lanes going at 60 when empty, but once you put some weight in her she improves hugely and I swear she corners better than the focus. I use my truck for everyday use, semi loaded, got more overland type activities in mind for the set up rather than axle twisting challange events.
