monroe 15-1592 Intended listing was for a landcruiser
Cant remember the price but what with these and an extended break line this wasnt the cheap lift I was trying for
Do remember that at full extension the spring must be held in the seat by the shock so if your springs are not as long as mine these are still too long. These only just manage mine at full drop with the roll bar off

Sorry to bump a month old post, but im currently looking at getting a bit more height out of my 94 SWB.

Im looking to go with 50mm lift rear springs, it already has aftermarket Monroe shocks in the back, im hoping they will be long enough, if not ill track something down. Do you think the springs you used would be higher than the 50mms?

Will wind up the torsions in the front and flip the ball joints for good measure. Convineantly i have a wheel alignment machine at work so no worries there :D

With this kind of lift is there any potential issues i need to worry about? Rear driveshaft angles should still be ok i hope? What about increased angles on the front CV's? Do they suffer badly from only 50mm lift?

Ill probably set up some sort of sway bar disconnect method or pull them off all together. Adventure season is right around the corner so it wont see much road use!

As soon as you take the sway bars off you are on the road to certification. The measurements of what I ended up with are in the first post. I dont have a factory measurement. If your current shocks are long enough for the new springs they might not hold the current springs
