Parabolic Suspension

Josiah Wilson · Jun 5, 2010

Hello,

Posted in another thread asking about lifting a leaf-sprung 88, when I think I should have posted here. :doh: However, I think I found what I needed anyways.

I'm looking to get this; [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4KU6f6ja80"]YouTube- LR Santana 88[/nomedia]

I want to give the truck some lift, so that I can fit bigger wheels/ tires on it. Will I need anything additional to these parabolic spring kits?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but this is my second "off-road" vehicle and I don't know much about it.

Parabolics and the extended shackles from a military 109 will do the job, but you might have issues with the brake lines and prop's, but it's nothing that cant be sorted.
I had the above set up on my S2a, i also ran a set of 33:12.50x15 tyre's. It gave me a 3" lift.
Im now thinking of running a set of 900x16's on my 109, just so i can get a bit more lift.

Fantastic. Any place you'd suggest that I could buy military 109 shackles from? I'm not in a very good location and have to buy everything online. Also, what do you suggest for the brake lines and props?

I got my extened shackles from paddocks 08454 584499 cheap as chips, just remeber to ask for the military 109 shackles.
I also got my parabolics from paddocks and i used the pro-comp ES3000 shocks, the whole lot was less than £300.
I didn't have any issues with props or brake line's, so i cant give you any advice on that one.
