2" Strut spacers

I am comfortable with both, but still think of height of people in feet and inches.

Me too, even though I was bought up on the metric system (at school)
Having parents that were bought up using pre-metric I still tend to use both.

For small measurements I use mm & cm.
Short distances I use feet & inches.
Longer distances (traveling) I use km's.
With weights, I use kg's but often refer to pounds.
:confused: :shrug: :shake:

As for when I'm using tools, it's more like "yep that one fits" or "nope, need the next size up" :lol:

Wow, we seem to be getting waaaaaaay off topic here :redface:

Hey spanks, how are you going re getting quotes for the 2" spaces.....Any news yet ???

The guy I was getting the quote from is getting married this weekend, so I dont expect to be hearing back from him for a while.
A user on here PM and said he could do me up a set, so going with that and waiting excitedly for them to be done :)

No offense at all.:ebiggrin: There was a big push to switch to metric back in the '70's, wish it had happened then. The English system isn't too bad if you leave out the fractions...I hate fractions.:madred:

I thought you guys fought a war against the Poms to do things your own way lol :raz:

We changed here in Aus in the 1970s carl, or at least the decision was made in early '70s, took a while to implement.

For woodworking, when I get time, I am glad we went to metric.

7mm offset per 25mm right?

The accepted offset for the blocks seems to be 7mm, this is per inch/25mm of lift isn't it? So 14mm offset for 50mm lift?
Also, aren't the foresters a bit of a tight fit in the rear needing either a little less offset built in or some body "massaging" to install the rear blocks?
I really need to confirm this stuff!
Cheers,
 
I've got a mate who's had straight laser cut 2" strut lifts in his Liberty wagon for years and never had a problem, not sure if he has camber bolts but he's got nothing else under there.

I think you'll find that it's a total of 7mm for the whole 2" lift. Below is a quote from frogstar7055 thread Lift installed from when he did his 2'' lift on his Forry about 2 years ago.

I put 6mm (.236) of offset on them.
Haven't got the alignment yet but it looks right and drives/tracks straight and true.

I can't find where it is at the moment, but I'm fairly sure (if my memory is correct) that if he was to do it again, he said he would make them with a 7mm offset, rather than the 6mm he has.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Mr Turbo!
Had to check on that, I have heard the other said as well. Along with a few others! 7 seems to be the consensus tho.
Cheers
 
Ok thanks.

Just another question. Are control arm spacers something to consider when putting on 2"strut lift?

Just gonna add to this, would adding 2" control arm spacers give you 2" more articulation without going full body lift? Anyone tried it? Just a thought :lildevil:
 
Don't think it would make any difference as the strut can only compress so far....Longer struts would be better, I think the Russian guy mentioned which longer struts fitted, I think 4Runner rear & Maybe Navara fronts.
