No idea mate All the lift kit ones are imported from Aus You need a spring maker - give em one of yours as a pattern and tell em you want 50 mm longer (cos we can get shocks)  What you don't want is too much stiffer or you will lose traction. |

i think they go on the spring diameter, and will fit any car with the same diameter, rather than selling for a specific model, so theres a good chance theyll make some to fit....

TOR is the magazine total off road, paul has been building the venom protruck for over a year now with the view to making it commercialy available in a couple of years. Every month he has done a collum in total off road so to read about it you would have to get hold of about 18 months of back issues but you could get the gist of it here www.venomprotruck.com |
