Marc if you PM me your address details, I can post my SST to you. Or if you want to come down, we can have a tech day

Thanks AMTS for the "kit" - have just had TJM install the Dobinsons/ Bilstien 50mm lift complete with the spacer which works a treat. I also had them install a 12k winch, diff breather kit and TJM snorkel so ready for anything.
Still getting used to the new HD springs - the ride isn't as plush as the old set-up - I think the wife will have something to say about that!!
If anyone needs to borrow a SST, please let me know - happy to lend out.

No not holding up progress. The last few that I have sent needed their own SST.Originally posted by Shan View PostAMTS - SST is with me still haven't done mine... maybe Sunday!!

The spare parts guy did a check when I picked up the last lot of SSTs and said that there are now 28 SSTs left in Melbourne. He reckons that I have started a trend.Comment

Hopefully will get a chance to do my spacers over xmas.
If someone could lend me an SST for a few weeks over the xmas break it would be much appreciated
Cheers

Hi amts,
I have not read this whole thred, (it's long) but I have a set of your spacers (nice idea) here to fit to a Prado.
The query I have is, wouldn't that also require a 50mm bump stop spacer?
Or do you think it can flex to the stops without damaging the bags at all?
I assume these have already been well tested?
Usually whatever suspension/spring spacer you use you would increase the bump stops by the same amount to help prevent damage.Comment

The Grande OE bumpstops are already significantly longer than rear coil sprung Prados to compensate for the shorter travel and longer compressed length of the OE Grande TEMS shock. With the spacers in place and suspension compressed to bumpstop, the airbags are not over compressed.Originally posted by amts View Post"Sure it’s quiet, for a diesel, but that’s like being well-behaved… for a murderer."- Jeremy ClarksonComment

Cool, I will go ahead and fit those spacers then.
Thank you.
The old air bars are removed, fitting new ones Thursday, finished with sst then so perfect time to send it on......Last edited by Anth120playdo; 19-12-2012, 06:41 AM.Comment
