Hi Patrick, I've got a weird question of the day for you. Can I get the front half of a 4/3 EA82 lift from you???? This will be for Vickys wagon it has a 3/3 lift now, but I swaped out the adjustable strutts and now it is very close in the front. I don't want to go back to the adjustables either cause they really crank on the alignement. Thanks, Tim

 

PS are you still collecting steering links??? I saved the one from the last car I parted with you in mind. Send me an addy and I'll put it in the mail. Later, tim

Tim if PK does this for you I'd be interested in the remaining 3" stuff. That is if you want to get rid of it.

I don't see why we couldn't work something out. Unless PK wants it back or something like that. Later, tim

I can probably get a few steering shafts if needed for cores or something, and a quick question are EA82 adjustable struts longer than EA81, can these be used in an addition to the lift?

I don't think so. And more strut length makes for bad camber. As in \ / will be the view of your tires from the front.

Yep, thats why I pulled the adjustables out. I've got new tyres on it and I don't want to wear out the sides again.

I thought (and according to the site) that the only 4"/3" lift available was for the ea81 bodies....

That would be cancelled out by putting more spacers in between the body and the existing lift in front, or slotting the strut tower to move the tops closer inside the body.

Sooo. are they longer or not? I'll worry about camber issues myself.

I still have the old ones, I'll measure them later and let you know what I come up with. Tim

cool, I wont need them I just want to know if there longer, my mind is always ticking with ideas.

We tried the spacers with Ken's brat. Can't remember just why, but he complained about the set-up. I bought his used kit (4/3) and chose not to add the spacers.

 

Slotting the strut towers is an option. Note that the more you push the front wheels down, the more your axles are gonna be hyperextended.

 

 

A 4/3 is a decent and very useable lift. Ken's 10 inch lift and 31 inch swampers and transfer case and solid rear axle have yet to go where my plain old PK lifted hatch cannot. ('xcept for his trailer, mine's still very streetable)

Anyone heard from PK lately??? I know he travels a bit too. So just count this as a bump

Hey Tim,

I will get to my emails tonight... all my emails, everyone

Bill, fully extended it is 22.5"

cool thanks tim
