Default Up the rear...

First of all apologies for the bad subject title, but I thought it was quite amusing.

Secondly, sorry as I'm sure this has been covered loads, but I want to jack up the rear end on my 2000 curvy.

Please can someone point me in the direction where I can get the necessary bits? I've tried running a search on the forum, but to be honest I'm a little lazy and found it quite monotonous trailing through loads of posts on my slow internet connection.

Cheers
Jase

At least you're honest.

jhsracing.co.uk sell shorter dogbones to jack the rear.

Well I try my best with the posts


Are those dog bones likely to make a noticeable difference? Just wondering what sort of lift you get? Anyone got any pictures with these fitted or any before and after shots?

Cheers

IMO this makes a big difference. I dropped mine down to 92mm from 105mm and built my dogbones myself. I dont know what the JHS ones are like but they only raise the rear around and extra inche. If you want to see a significant improvement then I suggest building your own.

I cant remember the link now but richie did a great guide on this a while ago and was very helpfull.

I'm not sure who made mine, but Maxton make 'em too, and they look lovely. I'm dimly considering a swap for them just for the bling.
