im off to another forum and i hope defenderoftherealm will follow me
i thought forums were used for helping people with a little bit banter but to accuse me of having two accounts is stupid, im in my fifties not a stupid kid,
oh and i'd quite like to see that escort with the jet engine fitted, i'm thinking of doing the same but am having trouble fabricating the engine mounting brackets as the parcel shelf is in the way
cheers
i've got a 4" lift on my 90 and its sound.it makes your steering a bit twitchy,but if you are only going up 2" it shouldn't be as bad.instead of buying a kit it is easier to make one out of steel box section,it is dead easy.first get some 2" square steel box and cut it so it just fits into the underside of the bottom spring cups,then drill the holes to suit.either buy longer bolts to go right through the cup,box and axle mount or buy extra bolts and bolt the box the the axle first and then bolt the spring cup to the box.do the same for the front but you will have to drill a extra hole in each front box section for the shoch to mount to.hope this has helped,jimbo.
how is this a bodge when the box section is the same size as the origanal axle mount!and i use quarter box which is about twice as thick as the origanal mount!ibut i should think your a more money than sense poser with brand new bought crap hanging off your motor!i take pride in making alot of the mods on my truck and over engineering them compared to some of the crap thats for sale!
its not my job to give the bloke the exact dimensions and spec of the lifting blocks,i was just telling him how i've done it!as for the 4" lift comment,i don't go green laning.but when off roading its quite handy to have plenty of lift to get over things without scraping all your under carriage.i also need lift to clear my 36" tyres(sorry didn't make the tyres my self as didn't have the right tools,sooooo very very sorry).i suppose if you were a caveman and you came across somebody with a fire,you'd say its a waiste of time why would anybody need fire,i like sitting in the dark eats raw cold meat!!! UFBC!!
is that best answer you can come up with,you must be more ignorant than i gave you credit for! UFBC.
