suspension lift and tyres 2012 150 series

[Guest Close Guest]

Front is bad and the spring seat is definitely upside down. Needs to be rectified asap.
Have you got 3rd row seats in your GX?

Hey amts

Yep, your right the spring seat has been installed upside down. I don't have third row seating. I've arranged to have the spring seat correctly installed tommorow morning. I'm curious to see how much lift I will get when this has been done. I have only done maybe 5kms max with the front shocks installed this way before noticing exactly what was going on , hoping no damage has occurred. I won't be driving the car until this is fixed !!!!

Question for you AMTS. Is it particularly difficult to install a suspension setup? (More so the front end I suppose.) Are there any tricks that you need to be aware of or if you buy a quality setup is it as simple as remove the old, install the new, get a wheel alignment and you're done?

After a bad track record I've completely lost faith in the usual installation places like ARB, Toyota, etc. I've got the tools to do the job but haven't done an IFS front end before.

Refer to this thread here. It's not very hard to do

The back end is a bit high due to the lack of 3rd row seats but it equates to 60mm lift. What is the height at full droop?

Thanks mate, looks pretty straight forward.

That's great! So you're back at 800mm now at the front? Did the rear come down too?
