:d I'm here just been busy.
The way I see it, modifying anything to the detriment of a car, ie, lowering putting the car closer to the ground, therefore, scraping the beam/floorpan/wings etc, un-natural un-even wear of og mechanical parts is a negative thing for the car especially if it is purely for looks, not improved mechanics or safety ie. fitting belts etc. But when you put a car 'up' the body is even further from the ground surface, lovely increased airflow underneath, is all a good thing. ie no negative damaged caused to the car :d But thats just my view!
It was a few years ago but from memory the front end is easy, there are cheap or expensive (kubel) options ie cheap being adjusters in the beam just the opposite of lowering :shock:, but the back end is much harder, and getting it level too. Ideally without military parts you need an 'early' only Barndoor rear end, pre '53ish' I think, I cant remember exactly now, I do have all the bits/reduction boxes from a 51 bus, as I was going to do mine, but when it started to get complex and involved opening my nice working og gearbox up I decided not too go there. I really dont like the smell of old gearbox oil and envisaged the contents of my gearbox turning instantly to scrap at my own hand! :lol:
My car looks pretty high just standard on 16"s and my Wesa Gelande tyres ( Kubel tyres) In fact I took it offroading recently and I was amazed I managed to get up some steep muddy hills and through the wood that only our tractors or Syncro crewcabs can manage! :d Got some pics somewhere :d
I recall Hebster52 knows FAR more, but I have just realised that I dont think he's been around since the Rosy Tile scandal :oops:
