100 series front suspension

[Radd Cruisers]

I have been speaking with a company who has devolped a kit for the 100 series and eager for me to try thier product.

One of the things they claimed was the 100 would sit very low at the front end, is this apparent?

They have developed a lift along with the torsion bars needed to level the front end.

I do not own or never seen a 100 series up close.

Thanks

yes they sit lower in the front, at least mine does.

Sit very low? Doesn't sound good. Overall we need a 3-inch lift for these rigs on both front and rear. Here's a picture of my 100. This is modified to 3-inches rear lift, 2 3/4 inches front lift and 35-inch tires. Yes, the front is trimmed a tad lower. I would not call this "very low" though.

Thanks.......

John could you post a side pic of your 100?

One like this Radd? Sorry, I'm an idiot at photography. I also sent a picture of a custom modified front end from somebody we cannot get in touch with.

EVERYBODY is waiting BIG TIME for a front mod like this (professionally done of course).

The above lift shows different offset wheel. Much different. less negative by 1.5". This is the first time I noticed it and it makes it much easier to design a lift. May not need a new knuckle???

Man thats one scary looking lift on the 100, if I remember correctly it was Peters? from Russia or somewhere?

And if it was who I thought from LCOOL list, I think he passed away a while ago from a heart attack.


I have some good ideas for the 100 front end, just awaiting an owner who wants some mods done to put them into practice.

Nice! When that lift comes out, sign me up. I've got an OME and it still sits lower in the front.

John, my Japanese Landcruiser book features a bunch of 100-series rigs with lifts like this. I think it's pretty standard. From the pics, all use bolt-on pieces like the ones shown in your pics.

Looks a lot like the 2.5 kit we will be selling.

We are also looking at a torsion bar kit with shocks to make your truck sit level.

Thats a nice stance and good looking rig......

YIKES RADD! That's some killer news. If you need it tested we can work something out. Private message me. In this same town is Doron, the other 100 owner who has created his own mod's and we can test together. John (Hopefully they will be colored black? A blue or red under these beautiful trucks would be a distraction)
