Raising 305 by 4/5inchs
Can anyone help me out here. I want to raise the suspension on my 305 by about 4/5inchs. The front seems no problem. Its the back I need some info on. Looking to raise it and put some fatter wheels on it ready for the 4x2 sometimes off road club and hopefully annoy some 4x4 owners. Would ideally like hydraulic but me thinks too expensive. Anybody know about air bag suspension?
Re: Raising 305 by 4/5inchs
i have not had hands on experience but as you probably already know it torsion bar suspension at the rear,
which i think the arms are fitted to the cross bars on splines which you have to separate and re/fit at however many splines on from where they were originally set,
you must be precise side for side exact or it will be lopsided,
speak the Richard ( Handyman ) on here as i belive he has had them apart
