Hilux front suspenion

Post by ovw »

Hi All,

I have just fitted a ONCA front bumper on my Hilux SRX S/C and it seems a bit heavy, how do I fix this without upgrading whole front suspension.

Is there a difference between s/c and d/c suspensions?

Will it help if I swop the two and will it fit?

I have the same problem.
Everytime I ask someone how to fix this they just want to Upgrade my whole suspension for a "good price"
Where do I get these strut spacers and is it a mission to fit them?

"The Shop" here on the forum had some reasonably priced spacers ... just click on the link (up at the top of the page just below the header ... it flashes). Check out what's available there. Louis of 4x4 Megaworld in Menlyn (also a member here) does good work and would be happy to fit for you. ;-)
