My Late 85 Courier Supercab Longbed

Nice rear setup. Where did those parts come from?

LOL I dig the spray can axle place holders.!!!

I got them from a place here in Australia called Air Ride Suspension Supplies (airide.com.au) I got my whole setup from them !!! excellent place to deal with !!! Maybe a bit far for you guys though !! They do send world wide but ...


Thanks for the comments too guys, much appreciated

looking tits man

TA dude !!

Well finally a decent update !!!!

First pic is of the front end which is mostly trimed up, just need to get my drop spindles and rims so I can finish off the trimming... Most people just trip the top part of the shock tower all the way up equal or close to the top of the rail but I want to only trim it as high as it needs to be so that the top bag plate sits flush under it to make it all alot stronger ... Ball joints have been flipped also..

At this point the front is about 1cm off the ground with a 25" tall tyre (ball joints maxed out) so with 2" drop spindles and 20's which are a tad over 26" tall it should lay out sweet !! hopfully with out pie cutting the UCA...



and this is were the rear is at !! finally started the notches... so far only cleaned the rear of all un-needed bracketry and spotted on the 4 plates...



Couldn't ask it to be any better then this !!! LOL

You might want your upper bag brackets up front a lil higher, What wheel tire combo size? you running?

yeah for sure dude !!! I just cut them to there to get the metal out of the way !!

I will be cutting them to the right height once I have my wheel/tyre combo as I only want to cut the towers as high as it needs to be to let 20's lay out I will be running a set of 20x7.5 wheels with 225X35 tires

I want to have my top bag bracket sit flush with the bottom of the tower for extra strength and want it to sit as low as possible so that as soon as I start putting air in it starts to lift so that I get every bit of lift I can !!

I drew this dodgy pic of what I mean.. Drawing 1 is what most people do where they cut the tower level with the top of the frame... Drawing 2 is how I want to do it !! of cause the bag plate may be higher or lower.. I wont know till I get my wheels and lay it out...

Thats about right, But you have to measure out where the bag compresses too, You dont want the bag folding over and creating stress points, and Laying on a 20 your going to need to have it as high as you can, especially with stock arms.. good luck bro

nice work man! get stuck into it...

dont be scared to roll 20ies...

i set mine up to fit 20's, just have 2 tub the firewall which i'm leaving for another day.. just wanna drive it around for a while with my stockies and get it down to Mini Madness... you headin down?
