Darek Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I replaced the shocks on friday. It took me about 1,5 hour and it was super easy. Now the ride is fantastic, no more rear jumping, no more sagging. Previously the rear was sagging even when I put only one leg on the hitch. Now I can stand with both legs on the hitch and the rear won't sag So thank you guys for all suggestions and help. I also bought front struts but I am taking it to a shop to replace it. Finally, I think I don't need new springs as there is no more sagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darek Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Today I replaced front struts at shop. The mechanic said that there is no need to adjust an alignment because it is not adjustable. So should I go for wheel alignment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 You shouldn't need to, since replacing the struts (and not messing other suspension bits) does not affect the alignment at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darek Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 I found an information about stock vehicle height: I measured my height and this is what I have got: Front: Left - 82,5 cm, Right 82,5 cm Rear: Left 79,5 cm, Right 80,5 cm It looks like it is too low so maybe it is the time for the new springs? I have some photos: The wrench has 14,5 cm length and the hand is not mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroeser01 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Time for new springs... Excuse to lift her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 ^^^ Agreed. Oh, and I need to find a nice "hand model" like that for my pictures!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darek Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ok, I'll buy new springs, but I don't know which type.I have following rear springs available:- Ironman NISS035B +35mm +200 kg- Lovells DRR-83HD +35-50mm +100 kgLovells are little more expensive, but they are in stock and I have to wait more than month for Ironmans.Second thing is that Lovells should be higher, up to 2", and I am afraid of top-out and buying an additional spacers/camer bolts as you do with AC 2" lift. (those things are in front but maybe I'll go with front too)Finally Ironmans are HeavyDuty and I am afraid that they could be too hard as I don't drive with so much load.What do you think?

shoesandsocks Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 i doubt u will find the ironmans to hard i replaced them with ome because i thought they were way to soft. to me they felt softer than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroeser01 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Where did you find Lovells springs available? I looked and didn't seem to find them. I tried the iron mans as well and liked the amount of lift in the rear but also switched because I wanted the firmer ride...that's what she said. Let me know on the Lovells tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
