KZ-TE suspention Lift
SO this year I want to do a couple of mod to my lux starting with a suspension lift while I save up for those OME's.
Im starting at the back with the Mikem extended shackles, they are 50mm longer than the OEM ones, Got them from 4x4direct.co.za for R1200.00 with delivery.
I will take some before and after measurements and pics

Hi Wayne.
Do you have the ball joint spacers yet
http://www.4x4direct.co.za/shop/index.p ... cts_id=234
IMHO a must for the front

Re: KZ-TE suspention Lift
That was a quick and easy job, I mesured 390mm from the top of the rim ti the wheel arch with the OEM scackles, and 420mm after I fitted the extended scackles.
And I adjusted the torsionbars a bit so the front is at 400mm.
Now I just need to wailt for the balljoint spacers and detachable stabiliser links for the front

Not difficult to do at all, , just a bit of cutting maybe a centimeter or so, then bending back the upper plate under which the spacer fits. But very easy. Will take about 3 hours to do.

Re: KZ-TE suspention Lift
Gaan jy dan ook later net die shackles op sit vir meer agter suspension travel en aan die torsion bars verander?

Kyk die thread van bo af, die shackles is klaar in agter en ek het die torsion bars bitjie op gestel sodat die bakkie gelyk loop, vandag het ek die detacheble stabiliser links ingesit wat maar net help met downward articulation as jy offroad is, ek glo ek sal bitjie langer shocks ook moed kry, ek het klaar die balljoint spacers gekry vir voor, dit sal ek die naweek ingesit word, want die alignment moed gedoen word na die spacers in is, daan sal ek weer die tortion bars se tension af stel dat die bakkie gelyk loop.
ek sal nof pics laai soos ek voort gaan.

Re: KZ-TE suspention Lift
Askuus het eers Tumelelo se post gelees... Sien nou die shackels is klaar in... Dit lyk cool, sal graag wil sien by die GTG, maar dink ek gaan maar eers moet wag vir my canopy... Btw wat gaan jy doen as jy hom sou laai, dan gaan hy nie meer level wees nie? Gaan jy die agterkant nog lig met n ekstra blade of wat? Of gaan jy die torsion laer stel?

Re: KZ-TE suspention Lift
ek het die blades laat retension en n extra blade laat insit, temp solution tot meer fondste beskikbaar is, so hy is redelik styf agter

Re: KZ-TE suspention Lift
Cool, dit gee my nou n goeie idee van wat om te doen. Snaaks genoeg by my agter is die OEM is 330mm van arch na top van die rim. Dink hulle is seker maar dan al klaar bietjie moeg.

Re: KZ-TE suspention Lift
Ok so the ball joint spacers is finally fitted, I had to tweak the torsion bars a bit so that the bakkie is the same hight all round, it measures 420mm from the top of the rim to the wheel arch.
I will post some picks later.
Next up snorkel and I have to finish the towbar
