Nice job by the way guys.

It was a pleasure doing the lift with you krusher and dupe,glad to be of service,even if i did recieve the biggest smack in the jaw.
i got a kick back from the farm jack handle which hit me in the jaw,making me sink several teeth into my tongue, and whacking my thumb.
But never mind..all in a call of duty for a friend.even if you both did have a laugh at my expense,after some concern.lol
i'm just relieved i've got no lasting injury,just started to get the feeling back every where.
still got your hobnobs here ,although i'm looking at the packet thinking shall i,sharn't i.
i'm glad the lift worked out great krusher,when you coming round for the 2"body lift?

Yes Colley, after the lift was done and then dropped off the stands that was our first thought. "Thats more than 2" Oh well the higher the better.

Lee, that was a very enjoyable day and we will have to organise some sort of south east mini meet and try and get some of the guys together for

an afternoons shananigans :dance: :dance:

Nice lift lads, just a side note. I wouldve lost the rubber cup, or cut it and put it on the spring side. Then you can tack weld the puck to the chassis, bolt a flat bit of metal to the bottom of the spring/axle mount (theres a nice hole in the center of the axle mount) and you have dislocation cones :wink:

Thats the fella Ste, they give piece of mind, I saw a Range loose a spring down devils bowel on the Chase. The other side flew out and it surfed down the hill on its belly and tyres in the arches :oops: Springs were found again, but shockers died.

I came close when after Farley I noticed the spring bottoms werent in the doughnut, since then the lil strips have been on.
