fitted.I managed to get the shims done today at last.10mm each side but the n/s looks to still need 2 mm as i ttok 1 shim out from the o/s and 2 from the n/s so wondering if there were 2 already fitted to the o/s aswell and i missed one.
3 bolts came undone ok-ish with a long bar but 1 bolt i had problems with last time i ended up with a lump hammer and cole chisel to smash the shite from it.At least i now can fit another shim easy enough to the n/s.
Also fitted new front shocks while at it.I will get some pics of what it looks like tomorrow

well done mate so you had a good day some thing you can tick of you list. be good to see the photos

How many spacers did u put in in the end.

i put 10mm each side Oliver but the n/s looks like it needs another 2mm though

I meant bj spacers rich. U were goin to try 40mm. Just wondered wat u put in in the end.

I put 15mm in at the moment but i will be looking at fitting at least another 10mm spacers

Wat camber reading have you got now then??

It's probably been discussed before, but could you remind me how much actual lift the 15mm ball joint spacer will give, for example? i'd like to do this at some point, combined with the extended shackles on the rear, cheers

its about 30mm total Greg but i want to get at least 40mm

not a clue yet as i haven't put the gauge on it but the drivers side is looking pretty good by eye and the passenger side just tipping in slightly still

Lookin good Stormy,how many shims did ya use..?

there's 10mm each side but the n/s needs another couple of mm

I love your garage mod rich.

thats just a class mod and everyone should do it.
I did reverse into the garage yesterday and forgot to lift the top section and wondered what the hell the noise was

10mm seems a lot,was it an easy job..?

i got 30mm lift and the camber was out a hell of alot.
i had to chisle one of the bolts off as it was totally knackered.It took longer to get that 1 bolt out then it did to actually do the other side.
I got m10 x 100mm bolts but they are too long so i will be replaceing them with slightly bigger but shorter bolts

hello stormforce truck is look very tidy mate got under mine today to have a look at the bolts to see what size nuts where on them the tub is m10/ 17mm socket and the one on the cab are 14mm nuts. just been looking a your gallery and seen the one you have done. when you put yours on Richard there is a rubber mount on the cab 3 on each side. with a bolt either side and one in the middle am i wright in saying you take the 2 bolts out on each side to remove the mount then take the middle 1 out and put your new bolt in and the packer/ spacer

All i did was remove the 1 main bolt.I did the drivers side first and then the passenger side.
To lift the cab i put a bottle jack on the tyre and then lifted the cab just enough to slide the lift blocks in place and then drop the bolts in and then do the same with the opposite side.The put the nuts on and tighten them all up

this pic is of the finished lifts for the time being

this is what the truck looked like when standard when i said it will stay standard

As you can see from the cross member on the house window on how much its lifted

Stormforce, are you measuring and adjusting your camber yourself? If so, do you have a special device? I really need to check mine, I was going to take it to a garage to get it done, but if its easy to do I might give it a go.

I have got LezT's camber gauge here but i have done it by eye due to my hip playing up so much yesterday.The camber isn't looking to bad and as long as you can undo the bolts for fitting in the shims it is an easy enough job to do.
My front tyres were only touching the road by half the tyre width before i did the camber and now the whole tread is touching and looking straight
