Title: Lift Idea
Post by: biker on June 22, 2005, 04:24:20 PM

I have read a little on here about using GV V6 coils in a tracker to gain a little lift. Has anyone here done this and how was the ride and flex? Any pros or cons?

Which is better, new coils (GV or ford van coils), or just use coil spacers?

Were does one get camber bolts fo fix the camber? i think i will do this to my 2dr sidekick.  and accompany it with about a 3inch body lift, to give me a tital of 5 to 5.5 inches and probly all under a $100. plus 40 for the snorkel,
then a locker,  yeah ok it will look a lill funny till I get 30IN tires to put under it  found thoes for $100  each for
30X9.5x15 with desently agressive tread.
What type of straps should i use to limit the down travel so it  dont thrash the CV'S?

Limit straps...LOL!  ;D

I run a 2" strut spacer on the fropnt of mine, with no problems as of yet. if you are just doing a strut plate flip, I wouldn't worry about a limiting strap.
