Will finish fitting other spring tomorrow which is the harder...... due to exhaust {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} now i'm not sure how much differance there is but jack is under the diff taking full weight ... pic is the standard spring {DESCRIPTION} ute spring {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} and if anyone can tell what the part numbers mean........ i'd be grateful {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION}

so ... left side springs were easy to do & no hiccups wellll other than being the 1st & trouble inserting front spring hanger. righthand side was a 'bit' of a pain due to the exhaust. however wasn't too bad & was able to easily remove spring & fit ute spring. only problem was when i undid the diff u bolts & went to remove the lower piece of the saddle......
{DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} was no bolt there at all  anyway all is finished. {DESCRIPTION} and ride height {DESCRIPTION} |

did a bit of "Trial & Error" on the wagooon reverse sensor wiring
so now have worked out how it works & how to wire it up so it cuts out when reversing with a trailer in case your wondering ...... the specific trailer wiring looms are not available. |
