erm, mine infront is those twist rod kinda suspension wor? how do i go about raising that? actually i never knew how those things work also, just i know it twist when compressed. hehe...
well, reason why i asked so is because lets say if i would to change the leaf springs or something later on, wether the same abs can be used anot ma. :) shackle lift is for the rear only right? the front apamacam mau lift? kinda new to this lift lift thing, so the only one i know so far is to change springs and leaf springs or shackle. but problem is my front doesn't have a spring... only got a rod. can still lift the car using the same rod? or must change to something else.. thats the thing which i wanna know... cause if i'm not wrong my friend's one used abs to lift if im not wrong... not sure also...
so yeah... hehe, sorry ar, noobie asking questions...
oooo, japan.... sweet.... =) share some photos la bro... =) i know you've got a nice camera... hehe... =)
bout tht i nt sure also as my is pajero so the front lift with the absorber, shackle lift can be use in front if ur car front suspension is leaf type(very rare nowadays), there are 2 way to lift the front
1) by adjusting the front upper and lower arm
2) by doing arm lift(same as shackle lift)
but in all it depend on how much lift u want if just 2-3 inch just adjust the upper n lower arm is enough, but if 4-6 inch u have to do arm lift and change torsion bar and everything, some car require to change tie rod end and steering rod also,
however if u lift ur car u have to change absorber also as oem will not coop with the height n end up making ur ride feel funny, even u change to old man emu just 2 days ago n u did lift today have to change new abs also, so if u want to lift better wait till ur absorber is worn out, so u wont rugi, another thing is if u put "lift absorber"( the panjang 1) to ur unlifted car it will end up damaging ur absorber only as the compression rate is different plus ur car will bounce alot
but there are cheaper ways to lift ur car, by doing a
body lift, this just lift your body as high as you want 2-6 inch ( usually just 2 inch 6 inch are for hardcore drive tht didnt use their car on road) without changing ur suspension system, it just cost fraction of the price, but most shop will say to u do the suspension lift because of marketing n sales reason, as long as u just lift around 2-3 inch there are no safety issue,
but wht i planned to do is 2inch on body lift, 4 inch on suspension and raise the suspension tapak by 1 inch, n use bigger tyre 36", so it become a monster, sadly my pocket dont allowed me to do so
