P.Gaudreault · Post by **P.Gaudreault** » Tue Dec 29, 2015 9:10 pm

Good day all, I know there are tones of tread about this subjet but I still confused..
My Deli suspension is due for been change and I'am thinking to installed 2" lift kit at the same time. I want to buy CCA HD coil spring for the rear and change all four shock absurber.

I drive a L400 Chamonix 1998.

First question:
If I buy longer shock, do I need to installed a spacer on the front suspension for having 2" lift???

Second question:
Part number?? I have read so much info about it that I have no idea what to order. I want good shock for 50/50 city/offroad and fit perfectly with 2"lift kit To alowed me to get a better suspension travel.

Third question:
Whitch option do I have?? I want a good and safe lift kit that will last for years on my van..

Thank you and happy new year!!!

Some vans lift with just the T bars, others require a ball joint block. Try lifting the t bars first then follow with an alignment. Your camber/caster goes out when you lift with the block or the TB's.

Part number??

Rancho RS999005 rear 17-28" low-hi ,rancho RS999136 front 11-16" low-hi. $285/pair at Lordco

Whitch option do I have??

Don't know, only installed a few months ago. It gets to be quite subjective, but IMHO these are the best of the 3 types available.

The engineered design body height is optimum, any changes you make cause torsion bar, ball joint and alignment complications. It still works okay but assume more parts wear and replacements.

PM me for my ph number if you want any more info.

Thank for your answerd. I look at these shock they look prety good. Ajustement for on and off road or if I load the van. Like it. :) There is an australian web site that I looked this afternoon, there is a lift kit for my van without spacer for the front. But there is new torsion bar. I gues I can play with the T bar and get 2" lift.

Hi
I got spacers and springs. Awesome service!
Still don't know how these shock will work. With suspension fully extended all im left with is 1 3/4 travel.
Unless there is something im missing there is no way I can use these shocks on my l400 delica.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Marco

Have a qualified mechanic do a shock travel measurement for your back and front shocks. It's possible you purchased the incorrect length shocks. The pictures don't show enough detail and information.

Do you have shock boots, they're an absolute must.....

I am a trades man myself. I'm measuring and will order proper shocks. I should have done this before I bought shocks...this is the numbers stated at beginning of thread.
Though I would save time....should know better :(
Yes I have boots to cover shock

Hi,
I didn't look at this site for a while. I'am installing my suspension and there is just the front left to install. You said that these shocks don't work with 2'' lift??
