Snake Racing 50mm Kit

[ML-VR08]

Just ordered my Snake Racing Kit...waiting till the 4" kit comes out then upgrade to that! Will this kit accommodate 33" Tyres?

[Austblue]

which kit is it?

33" tyres will pretty much fit on a stock triton you just need a little guard trimming.

[trickydevil]

check out tritor's page he's got 305/75r16 ( just shy of 35's) with a 2in lift. I'm gunna chuck some 33's under mine once the tax man repays me what he stole.:evil:

[Austblue]

Mate your maths is way off they're just shy of 33" so effectively just a 20mm wider version of the 285/75/16.

edit: its not your maths its your eyes he's got 305/70/16 not 75 so they're 32.8 not 34

[Austblue]

p.s. IMO 34 or 35" tyres are pretty much too big unless you're going to reduce your ratios.

[ML-VR08]

I got the 50mm Snake Racing kit...coil spacers and the extended shackles

[jacko]

yeh mate ive got the snake racing spacers and shackles and have tried 33in tyres under mine they work fine and look great, now just gotta save up the dollars

[ML-VR08]

Yer mate save up for the 4" Snake Racing kit...im going to get one, and try and run 35's haha now that would look real tuff...Did you need new shocks in the rear? Or front shocks? I might just get the rear shocks...can you send me some pics of your rig with the suspension and everything...just pm them to me or somthing

[ML-VR08]

Snake Racing Kit should be here on Thursday or Friday....its coming express post from Sydney...not sure how long it usually takes (i thought over night) but he thinks it will be around 2 - 3 days

[Austblue]

ML the problem is that when your front wheels travel up they'll still scrub so off roading will be difficult. Better to get a body lift if you want 35s mate. Check out tuff triton's he's running 35"

[ML-VR08]

Yer....i just wanted to avoid a body lift...as there is too much involved! and there is no-one to sign the car off up here!

[Mud16]

Do you know when they are releasing the 4in lift ??

[GLX-RSilver]

mud16 i received email from rhino of snake racing it would be around july but ml heard it would be august. anyway rhino said price would be around $3500 and they have no vibration problems.
So my ironman kit will do until then. cheers

[ML-VR08]

Yer i agree with Silver! I cant wait till it comes out...thats why i only went for the cheaper alternative! But it should be aiight for the time being!

[Austblue]

Wow, why would you pay $3500 for 4" but bork at getting a body lift?

I don't get it I suppose

[ML-VR08]

Its illegal to bodylift a car with airbags! Thats why everyone wants to get bigger suspension lifts!

No-one will certify a car that has a body lift with airbags!

[Bubbalucci]

body lift and 4 inch lift s are you guys going into comps
?
my brother had that setup on an 80series for that reason (comps) it was a shit box always breaking parts from the extra stresses it places on all componants looked rediculous drove like shit
he now has an eighty with 2 inch lift .
he realises he still going where he was befor e and costing him [censored] all
dont be bothered by me im just saying is it worth the pain and expense i think not

[ML-VR08]

Thats a very good point Bubba! But i would just be keen to see what a 4" kit would look like!

[Bubbalucci]

cool

[boo-ya]

ML i cant wait to see your car getting round the bay once all this is done. By the way did you get the kit through bobs bridgestone?

[ML-VR08]

Nah mate i told them to shuve it! Haha i got the snake racing kit, and im getting Bobby from Allset Springs to fit the kit and put in new EFS Struts/springs! Total cost will be around $900...but will need new rear shocks!

[ML-VR08]

Kit arrive today...the shackles are massive improvement! Im talking twice the size! And the spacers are rather impressive aswel!

Should be fitted tomorrow so i will post some pics once its done...just check my profile and let me know what you think...should be a big improvment from stock!

[GLX-RSilver]

ML Yeah i know what you mean about the snake racing spacers and shackles i've been sitting on them for weeks. When i got them i was shocked i knew the spacer size but they shackles spun me out they're monsters. Let me know how the body roll is i'm still deciding whether to fit them with the ironman kit to see what's 4inch look like.
Cheers

[GLX-RSilver]

Hey there austblue i've never been into body lift kit too much work and as ML said it is illegal on air bag cars but so is 4inch lifts i mean a 2inch lift and 2 inch body is legal on pre air bag cars but not a 4inch kit unless it's been engineered so i guess i'll go that way when i fit it. The main reason i want to go 4 inch is so when i do go 4wdriving i don't have to worry about departure angle or damaging my car due to bottoming out on the body work.
Cheers

[ML-VR08]

Agree with Silver...its too risky doing bodylift...bodyroll and general functionality of the car goes out the window
