Have changed set-up and I have shed weight from my tray. I currently have HD dobinsons in the rear and find it too harsh. What would you suggest as a comfort leaf spring??

Hi mate.
I would remove the 3rd leaf from the top.
this is cheaper the buying new leaves.
Otherwise i can ship some Bluemax comfort leaves
Cheers

if u lived a bit closer to bathurst nsw i would do u a clean swap i have the 300kg bluemax but they are a little to light with the steel tray/battery/80l watertank and tools or dogs on the back

You could fit one of the original leaves into the Bluemax packs

Can you give me a price on D22 torsion bars and your recommendations also Rancho RS9000XL to suit the same vehicle with calmini upper control arms(3" extended)? I am only lifting the vehicle 2" and allowing more down travel.

Also whats you thoughts on calmini torsion bars?

Thanks

i fitted efs
i should have gone stronger as i still bottom out occasionally

 

[qqc d22]

if you want a torsion bar price quicker rusty in the thread i started a while back called "d22 springs rubbing on chassis?" he quoted me a price i think it was about 310-340 delivered from memory but double check that. Ill give you a call as soon as i get a chance and organise those arms mate ive just been flat out and my missus only told me an hour ago you sent a text to her phone 4 days ago :/

G'day John,

What is the eye to eye length of these shocks fully extended?

Cheers

 

[RustyNav09]

Chule from memory they are about 8.375" closed and 12.250" open. John will clarify

Cheers Rus. Are those measurements sufficient to function properly with the cal UCA's?

 

[Brownie82]

Zordo or others thoughts on Bodylifts. Worthwhile or only if wanting to fit big tyres?? Will be getting a lift shortly 2inch wouldnt mind 3 if easy enough. Will be fitting 265/75/16 would a bodylift be overkill for that tyre size?

Cheers Brownie

 

[BJJ84]

what do you drive Brownie? my old man fitted 265/75R16's to his D40 with no lift and they fit fine. I think you will get some scrubbing on a D22 though as those tyres came off the mags from his old D22 and they scrubbed with a steel bar and winch, put them on the D40 wheels and they fit well, fill the guards nicely too

 

[MAT713]

For the D22's, are the aftermarket torsion bars all much the same?

Is a 'comfort' EFS the same as an Ironman 'comfort' in terms of longevity, durability and strength?

From what a torsion bar is a torsion bar. They all come out of very few factories. Just coloured differently for brands. The only thing that is comfort is the valving in the shocks

Yeah have a D40, looking at a steel bar or Xrox in the near future also. Think i migth leave the body lift and just spend it on better suspension... SAve the hassle also.

Thanks.

yeah mate, that's all I've done. I've got 2-3" suspension with 265/70R17's and realistically, they look too small still lol, but it's the biggest I can go legally in qld, I may get some steelies and put some 285's on them for fun down the track

 

[ZORDO]

Bodylifts are good for bigger tyres & sill protection.
Or if you want the monster truck look
Cheers
