Hello,
I'm new to the forum. I'm looking into suspension lift options, from Superlift Calmini to ARB / Old Man Emu. Superlift kits consists of Upper Control Arms and shocks. What I don't understand is how can you not replace the coil spring as well? Seems like the weight would all be riding on the shocks.

TIA

Not sure what you're referring to when you're taking coil springs??? The front suspension is torsion bar and the rear is leaf. The lift should be in the control arm. The only place I can picture a coil spring would be in the rear. Educate me,what am I not seeing???

Guess I should have looked at the correct diagram. Thanks.

The 1995 hardbody 4x4 has a hanger bearing located in the drive shaft (2 piece shaft). Be careful raising the rear differential.
