Lifting a syncro

Post by **futbus** » 02 Mar 2011, 21:09

We lifted our own syncro just over a year ago, but have never really been happy. The front shock we originally added a 8mm spacer at the top which helped a bit, but was topping out the shock while offroading. So we have designed an extension for the shock so when we lift the vans 30mm it lowers the piston in the shock back to the original position. We have these made in EN25T so no problems with strength. There is a bit of threading involved with fitting but all do able as a diy and we can supply a die for the job if required. To add to this we have also had the first batch of spring lifting plates made and will be available in various sizes. We have ordered a supply of top ball joint spacers from a well known and respected supplier, but these are currently stuck in UK customs but will be with us in a couple of days. For the back we have a rear shock extender designed but these are still with the laser cutters and also hope to back with us soon.

So we will be able to offer a full and comprehensive lift kit using the original springs and shocks.

Pictures of what we have so far and will update when the other bits turn up.

More to come when the other bits turn up.

Shock extenders will be cheaper, but the Bricky AVO long shocks work very well..
