raise vz tonner front end

[chrispy89]

hi, I need to raise the front end of my vz tonner as the bullbar is weighing it down and I scrap every spoon drain I go through, even if I crawl through, what would the best way to do it.

Remove the Bullbar..

Have your suspension checked, extra weight has probably worn the shocks out?

removing the bullbar isnt an option as i live in rural sa which is roo and wombat country, bullbar has only been on for 12 months and has been doing it since it was put on, just now getting a bit worse. have had the springs and shocks checked and they are fine, plenty of life left in them.

If its only a 6 pot, then look at gettin a set of V8 springs, might pay to have a suspension joint check out what height you would need to fit, other wise most companies do offer a slightly raised spring for most cars. Just gotta ring them and find out.

Install a set of heavy duty springs in the front, it will lift the front back up again.

cheers it is a 6 so will definitly look at v8 springs.

i was also told to loo at geting blocks put in, does anyone know if there is any avalibale?

[RiCeY]

Blocks are dodgy just get the heavy duty springs.

[chrispy89]

ok i put raised king springs in but it didnt lift it at all, still at orginal height before new springs put in

Were they standard springs originally?

Are there heavier/taller springs available? Maybe V8 springs?

fe2 is standard, these were heavyier taller springs, which also fit v8

[RiCeY]

Must be some serious weight in that bullbar?

Might need some custom springs made up.
