2" suspension lift

its time to start my rear end lift today but its blowing a gail down here.
two heavy duty leaf springs from milners 4x4 and a set of +2"shackles all new ploy bushes but i only received 2 u bolts from them so i will have to use to old ones from the shed.i dont have shocks just now so i will replace them before its mot as both are leaking.
watch this space i will stick up photos when finished.
doing it the easy way using my 3/4" drive air gun

Thats not the easy way thats the cheats way where the fun in there being no risk of skinning your knuckles and swearing and launching your favourite ratchet down the rad and then spending an hour looking for it

ha ha i like it i have had a few skint nuckles in my day hoorray for air tools such a life saver.

Glad to hear the fronty is coming along look forward to seeing her when she is done then it will be time for a mud fix

every thing was going good untill my 3 ton trolly jack starting spurting oil all over the drive and cam down all on its own.at least i wasn't under it never even got a wheel off time for a set of seals me thinks

Have you got a thing about things leaking oil

always happens when you least need it

At least you wouldint lose him just follow the trail of oil

Is the truck even going for it to be lost?

not allowed to get oil on the drive i use oil absorbent tar.the wife wonders how when it rains we have rainbow making machine under my truck.

Rainbow making machine indeed look at the pretty colours

I'll need to remeber that one

springs are off. just need to fab up a shackle mount and weld it on i may as well do both sides i might lengthen them an inch or two while i am at it .
i got the rear chassis scraped where i never reached when the tank was in just have to paint it but i will wait until the welding is done
its a good feeling every days work brings it closer to completion

Your getting there mate it will be all worth it

shackles welded on chassis one side i just kept them standard hight .i have finished one side with new leaf spring on and bolted up.
having a cuppy and will go tackle the other side

that's the rear end all but done just have to save my penny's for new shocks.
this is how its sitting now.i will lift the front end tomorrow
before

after

Keep the photos coming it's looking good when it's done youl nead to take it up to brahan

i am planing to come up when its ready along with a few of the trucks from down here

Would be really good to see you mate and we will need to make the effort and come down to you guys
