Much appreciated mate. Portals are out of my price range unfortunately but thanks anyway. I’m on the west coast. Most companies seem to give me vague and limited info but the few I’ve asked say parabolic as part of a gvm upgrade is straight up ‘no’ or too hard basket. Again I appreciate your help mate!

it's impressive that such a simple change to the shocks allow it what i really think is all the travel that you need for a touring Ute, great job Denny

Mate thanks for all your time n effort the vids are great. I’m looking at getting a gvm upgrade to about 4/4.2t 6:06 on a new dual cab v8 79 cruiser Ute. What in your opinion is the best company/product/setup to go with bearing in mind I’ll be getting a track corrected diff and increased axel load rating and it needs to be leaf sprung atleast 500 kg constant. Thanks in advance legend

Of all 3 of my 79s ive had, the parabolics have been my favourite for sure.. But I would be trying to incorporate whoever is doing track correction to be involved, if it were my build in the situation you speak of Marks portals on leaves would have to be on top of my list..

Hey mate really enjoyed the video, I’ve just purchased my 79 awaiting delivery, I’m coming from a hilux and looking at doing something SSM pre rego. Did you consider coil converting when you decided on your portal build ? I’m stuck deciding if I really need the portals/coils or of a simpler pre rego kit will do. Cheers

Not really interested in the coil rear, love my leaf springs too much, not even sure Marks 4wd allows a coil bum, they very strict these days with what they are passing

Thanks for your practical videos, you convinced me on those TT parabolic leafs 👌I have a 2022 model and fitted a Terrain Tamer suspension kit, 500-700kg parabolics, 50-100kg smart coils and their big bore shocks and currently run 285/75R16 Maxxis Razr MT. Love the setup. Also waiting for my superior high clearance plates to lift the shock mount in the rear. Once I've upgraded my brakes I'd like to go to 315/75R16, will they fit or will I need some more lift? Thanks again for the great videos

How do the TT 500-700 leaves feel when the car is empty?

Interested in your thoughts mate. In regards to shock orientation I understand your example of the mud ect going hard and doing damage in that regard when running shaft high. I can't help but think it would be worse to run the exposed shaft near the ground due to chance of road rash or coming into contact with rocks and what not. What do you reckon? Cheers in advance 👍👍
@TeamBulletOffroad2 жыл бұрын
Theres plenty of clearances there in regards to hitting something, you would be pretty unlucky, I ran my fox ones in old grey truck with shaft at bottom for 4 years and we went hard, kept them out of harms way...Cheers

Hi mate, I’m looking at 3 inch dobinsons kit for my 79. Acouple questions for you. Do you need to extend brake lines? Or any other modifications when going 3 inch. Is it legal to run 3 inch lift without engineering? Thanks mate
@TeamBulletOffroad2 жыл бұрын
My 3 inch was done pre rego so not sure on legalities of your install, guess it depends on who is doing it and what paperwork is issued, this white one no extended lines, grey truck however with the extra flex it had I did go braided/extended...
@HardstylePete2 жыл бұрын
Could you fit a 4inch front shock and take advantage of the additional travel? Would the up travel with the 4inch front shock be enough?

100%, thats what I had in the grey truck 4inch fox rem reservoir and worked a treat one that one, they were awesome

Hey mate What’s your opinion between fox 2.0 remote res and Bilstein shocks? I’m looking at the 3 inch kit from CalOffroad, looks to be good gear. Cheers

hey mate, had my eye on those shocks for a bit. tossing up between them or a set of fox 2.0 from mikes shock shop. Did you try the bilsteins with the sway bar back in?

Yes mate got the extra length with the sway bar back in, needs different radius arms to get much more, I had the big fox ones on my old grey truck...Both awesome shocks...
