Ohhhhhhhhhh dear

Here we go again

Just look at them mate FFS ........... you could make em yourself for pennies and they aren't very good looking are they

If you insist on using spacers get the more expensive machined ones available

abuse them and they WILL collapse.

suggest you ring llama 4x4: Llama 4x4 Official website

G

you could make them yourself for that! go for the machined ally ones...

i have the alloy machined ones on mine no problems with them the ones you show will defently flatten total waste of your money !!!!!

these ones are the ones you need !!

would the standard shocks be ok with the extra 2" travel?

YUP thats the puppies

But looking at the price of em you might as well go and buy some proper springs ......... BRITPARTS would actually work out cheaper

If you use dropper turretts yes but you might as well get the shockers too TBH

You can get a full kit springs n shocks for under £200 if you know where to look

Dont forget extended brake hoses if you intend to go offroad though

or theres these PM639 Rear Shock Absorber Top Mount Dropper Kit (pair)

For the record i have used dropper turrets and rear dropper mounts on DiscoGirls 300tdi with a 2" lift kit (springs n shocks) and the rear articulation with the antiroll bar removed is quite impressive

are these a simple put on and job done modification or is there more work to do to the vehicle (and bits to buy) to make it roadworthy? i like the idea of raising my truck 2" without messing with the suspension. (just put bilstiens on recently and would like to keep em). its a 96 v8i

also how would adding these affect the vehicle on the road? in the unfortunate event of an accident as the center of gravity is higher i increase the chance of a roll yes? i'm thinking if i do add the spacers i would also like to add the 30ml wheel spacers to help counteract this, would it help? Also would my stopping distances be affected if the truck is raised? i've only ever lowered cars in the past to improve handling and wonder if raising the truck will have the opposite effect and if so what can be done to correct this? cheers

i have found no difference in the handling no extra mods reqd the only thing you may need is coil spring clamps ......... and remember to oil the nuts well in advance on the bottom of the springs prior to fitting them lift spacers
