Raising rear ride height

[njf690]

Guys after advice on lifting the rear ride height on the FC sedan . She is scrubbing on the new rims . I will roll the inner guards but still think the ride height has to come up . Also shocks of any one can recommend some I'm in Brisbane . Don't know how to post pictures

you can fit a LJ diff to get them tucked under.

I only use monroe GTs..

Is this the facebook one with 15 inch smoothies ?

A couple of extra leaves eg ute or van springs will give you one or two inches. Monroe gas from super sprint barn will do for dampers.

Wagon springs have 1 more leaf and will stiffen up and lift the rear a little. Ute or van springs have 2 more leaves and will double the lift.
i like Monroe shockers as well but don't use a pump up shocker as these will crack the mounts on the rear floor

when you say roll the rear guards i remeber doing this when i was 15 on my sedan and they are extremely hard as its a multi layer panel ends up cracking the radius on the edge and still doesnt achieve much as the inner guard steps in pretty quick as well was a lesson learnt.

What size tyre are they ? i just fitted 15x7 alloy wheels to my wagon cannot remeber the offset and with 205 50 15  and they rubbed ever so slightly and mine is pretty low .

Have a quick look at my wagon page http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php?topic=25767.20


If you want to go up on the springs mark which is left and right pull them out and take to a spring mob . I just had a set lowered for $280 from memory but im sure going up is the same.

They are 15/6 rims right round . They springs have been reset .

If you're south, try talking to Bayside Springs & Blacksmithing. They can reset for lowering & reset/add for raising.

They've reset my rear springs on a few of my earlies over the years, and I've never had an issue.

Cheers
