catching on full lock as well
i would get a 2" suspention lift first or a 2" body lift you mite need both to have no problems
but that just my opion

[Paul - MW5DAD]

Wow ! You got me worried now,
I have put it on full lock in both directions driving around the tyre centre car park to be sure it does not touch,
I don't intent to proper off road the motor,
so maybe it'll be OK ?
Would like 2 inch lift but not able to DIY
so down to cost I'm afraid

[stephen.buxton]

well mine has had a 1.5" lift, with HD torsion and 2" rear spring collars on.. so will defo get bigger boots on original rims...

Cheers Steve, nice to here from you,

No lift fitted, pity !

the garage did fit one front tyre and do a check
it did not catch but they warned it was close
when all five were fitted I did drive around the tyre centres car park on full lock to be sure,

I have since been off-road and I did get it to catch as I did a sharp turn up a steep mound
it did a small rub in the arch, I can't see were it rubbed.

As you can see in the picture the back end is higher than the front
so it is my intention to adjust the torsion bars to give me another inch of height.

Does anyone know how many turns of the torsion bar adjust bolt it is to get approx one inch ?
I'll find a friend to adjust it for me,

Paul

when i lifted my mk2 shogun i had an extra 13mm on the bolt so i would measure the bolt & add 6mm to both side then check hope this helps Guy
