nice tire size for pickup torsion and leaf lift

[OTEP]

Sa Pajero Php 7,500.00 ang bodylift (materials and labor) sa Filmar's. The same shop that lifted wiretap_md's Suzuki Vitara.

If you get an imported body lift kit (e.g. graphite blocks from Armark), expect a total bill of Php 25,000.00 (instillation included).

Tapos dagdagan mo na lang ng konting suspension lift.

aba mura lang pala i thought na mga 30k above. Kasi sa mga pinagtanungan ko mga 120 pa nga inabot kaya lang may mga tire upgrade nayun and imported siguro mga nilagay nila. Nagcanvas din ako sa banawe mga parts mga 30t 1 shock palang yun.

Sir otep kasama na ba mga shocks dun sa materials na sinasabi niyo po? Ang nagpapamahal kasi mga shocks. Ano po mura na ok mahal kasi ang mga ARB hehe konti palang ang knowledge ko sa mga ganyan e.
Saan po din makikita ang filmars. Salamat po

Hindi mo kailangan ng shocks sa body lift. What a body lift does is put a spacer in between the body and chassis. The suspension is left untouched.

If you plan to put on a suspension lift, just get longer shocks from KYB. I use their nitrogen shocks. Php 850.00 ea.

Nasa tapat ng RATS (ARB) Katipunan ang Filmar's (may katabi siyang bank).

[quiksie]

ah alam ko na yun filmars. Salamat po ulit. Balitaan ko nalang kayo pag nagpabodylift na ako or torsion adjustment. Tignan ko din suspension lift.

Sila na ba bahala sa materials po? San makabili ng KYB na nitrogen shocks? Yun lang po ba bilin pag mag suspension lift?

[Ungas]

30k for just one shock absorber? Ano yun may ginto sa loob? Baka naman po isang set na yung 30k.

Afaik, Bilstein, Koni, OME & other branded shocks are priced at 6,500-8,500 a piece.

[quiksie]

Siguro nga isang set.

gas shocks po kasi nakita ko. Nagulat din po ako sa presyo pero yun daw talaga napa ok nalang ako. Nakalimutan ko kung ano brand. Yun may gatorcab along banawe pang offroad products nila. Hindi ko alam kung ride ang pangalan.

May nakadisplay lagi na Frontier and Toyota Tacoma ata or Hilux na full lift lahat na pinalift parang bigfoot na astig. Salamat po

Sir otep baka magpabogylift po ako o kaya suspension lift, tignan ko lahat ng possibilities,
pero ipavoid ko muna warranty ni quiksie baka next year na hehe.

[Ungas]

Di hamak mas makakamura ka sa body lifts, after placing the gaps between the body and chassis itself it is a done deal.

Unlike sa suspension lift madaming parts ang apektado, just take for example my rig. Matapos i-lift dati, dinagdagan ko pa ulit ng lift sa suspension, which inturn strains other stock parts. Then I have to change other parts to be able to withstand the pressure added from lifting. Though on the good side, you will maximize the suspension flexes. :D

OT: kimpoy, diba shaved bumpstops yung sa strada mo? ok lang ba na tabasan ko yung saken?

[notEworthy27]

ungas , what are the other parts that are affected after having a suspension lift?

[Ungas]

Let me guess, other suspension parts? :bwahaha:

It depends on each vehicle, suspension assembly & how high lift is made. For leaf sprung, shocks should be lengthened. Diff angle tilted, propeller yolk lengthened, brake lines extended and other parts that I've failed to mention. Pero sa extreme cases yan mostly 3-6 inch lift kailangan baguhin. Kung mild lifts (20-40mm) kaya pa naman ng stock parts.

[OTEP]

I'm running a suspension lift now to clear my 33" tires. But I'm seriously contemplating a body lift for a bit more clearance and para hindi mukhang lowrider yung sasakyan.

On a Frontier, you will just need a way to lift the rear suspension if you are going for an inch or two of suspension lift. Either via longer (fabricated) shackles, extra leaves on the spring pack, or a lift block under the stock spring pack. Then just get slightly longer shocks.

hahaha si boss ungas talaga! pasensya na pinapaisip kita ng sobra! :D

May nakatabi ako kanina, 4x2 Frontier no lifts whatsoever. Running on 245/70R16, mounted on Patrol's OE mags 16x7. Imo, kakasya ang 255/75R16, mas maganda ang kalalabasan. Wider tires that's exact fit to the mag's width.

You can use the sizes for comparison and basis.

[quiksie]

Nice suggestion !Pero Mukhang mas mapapamahal ako sir ungas pag palitan ko ang mags ko. Pero gusto ko nga din yun kaya lang pang goma lang ang kaya kong bilihin. Ah ganun pala pag palitan ang suspension lift dami madamay na parts.

Sir otep pano po sa harap na lift pag suspension lift eh shocks yun papalitan. para hindi naman nakangudngod ang aking harapan.

[OTEP]

Shocks have nothing to do with lift. They just control the movements of the suspension. You only get longer shocks because the old ones might be too short after the lift.

To lift the front end, you just have to crank the torsion bars. Most shops charge Php 400.00 for this service but you can do it at home and just leave the alignment job to them para makatipid ka.

Madami nang topics dito about cranking t-bars.

[quiksie]

hmm? sige pagaralan ko muna kung san nakalagay ang torsion bar. and paano ito icrank baka kasi ako maipit sa ilalim hehe. 2k ang sinisingil sa akin sa talyer e kasama na ang padagdag ng leaf pero ako bili ng leaf. Mahal pala ng pinagtanungan ko.

Sige baka bodylift nalang mukhang mapapamahal ako pag palitan ko shocks ko pag suspension lift. Next time nalang ako pasuspension pag may pera haha.

Salamat

A body lift 2" or less is usually a very painless procedure. I don't know about Frontiers, but on Pajeros, there is enough slack in the wiring, brake lines, hoses and other stuff allowing for an easy 2" body lift.

The Mitsubishi section of www.4x4wire.com has t-bar cranking instructions. Pareho lang yan ng nasa Pajero.

[quiksie]

sige i'll check it right away at pagaaralan.
