Dumb Question But Oh Well...

[Dusty_Ranger]

nah honestly good quality hockey pucks arnt to bad use them as a body lift on top of ur body mounts tho not suspension

 

[the truck doctor]

dude hockey pucks are for body lifts, buy the right lift blocks, or if you're a true newfie carve it out of a piece of hardwood, lmao, no really buy the blocks

 

[Boggin]

How about 5X3 wood blocks, if they will fit..
Truck Doctor, Are You Newfie? If so where are you from

 

[Will]

Are you wanting to do a body lift or a suspension lift? People that use the pucks use them as body lifts, not axle spacers. You can't use a compressable lift block in the leafs. And how do you plan to even the front up?

Do a body lift.

You need a Ranger.

 

[Boggin]

Thanks for the site, and to even up the front it will be Torsion Bar Cranking, Remember?

Cant you people beat it thru your heads that im not getting a body lift, jus a susp lift, so it wont bottom out, cuz my truckis always getting stuck that way, in fact its stuck right this very moment in my garden, you know how? bottomed out...

[Dusty_Ranger]

well im going to tell you now that that if u use hockey pucks on a suspension lift your going t oget shunned cuz that fricken stupid

 

[Boggin]

i said im not using hockey pucks dick slap, cant you read

 

[Mark_88]

Well, hockey pucks will probably work...but I asked about it a few years back and almost got chewed off the planet...some people have used them without any problems...others, especially off-roaders, found that the pucks can shatter...not like a Bobby Hull slapshot mind you...but there is a great deal of stress on the suspension...

If you can find steel lift blocks cheap I'd recommend going with them instead...but if you're set on using hockey pucks, make sure they have the Habs emblem on them...

Hell Ya!!

I also once have tha same problem like yours. I also felt dumb when I ask about it to my uncle's friend. I thought that unscrewing the 2 U bolts on each side was wrong

No I can't get it through my head. But that's probably because I know what I'm talking about. It's a weakness I have--I only post when I know what I'm saying.

It's the tires that matter. That's what the body lift is good for.

Cranking up to torsion bars on that old thing--probably break something or screw up the alignment. There's no precedence for that. It's not a Ranger.

Whatever you are doing on the rear, it's not going to work. You may screw up the pinion angle and get a vibration. Again, there's no precedence as this isn't really a place where people build old Mazda trucks. There's a great deal of harm to be done and no gaurentee it will do what you want.

A body lift, it's the same for any truck. You know what it's going to do. It will lift your truck. A suspension lift doesn't lift the axles--and it lifts the body the same amount. Good luck trying to lift the torsion bars 3" on that. You'll put your eye out, screw up your CVs maybe, and have a crappy riding thing that has no suspension travel at all and eats tires. How do you know?

A body lift does no harm to the truck, allows larger tires--which does lift the axles and body, and all of the mechanicals stay the same. If your problem is getting stuck on a road, it's the perfect soluton--you just need a little more tire.

ok, fine..but guess what..The truck wont be my for much much longer, remember the trade..

 

[Boggin]

but ok will, i see what your point is, thanks
