Dudley Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Is there any Toyota strut that will bolt into a ke20 and raise the ride height but still allow me to retain factory brakes/hubs ? o 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTERUS Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 This sounds like a job for strut spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 / anyone got some OG struts that haven't had the guts replaced with an insert? dodgy re-valve plus weld on schrader valve for that nitro compressed air charge @Dudley wants to give you money for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Just now, kpr said: plus weld on schrader valve for that nitro compressed air charge I wonder if you did that and put some diesel in the shock and sealed up the shock valving , and do a jump Would you get a really good rebound? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its borderline that already, so with some minor tweaks... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Turns out it still had the og shocks in the struts. pulled one of them apart. found they have a stopper on shaft to limit extension travel. chopped that off and welded it back on 40mm lower. did some super janky shaft re-polish. they were leaky anyway so whats a bit more. also "machined" the little spacer plate on compression side of shocks. to effectively make bleed holes on compression side smaller. so will have who knows how much more compression dampening, along with 40mm more droop for those hectic jumps. I want to add a second shock on the rear that only starts working at last 1/3 or so travel. so its like some kinda amazing redneck hillbilly bypass shock 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudley Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Cool when can we book it in? I assume working brakes won’t be necessary ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
