DIY - Strut Lift tops

Post by AlpineRaven » Sun Jul 05, 2009 9:21 pm

Is there any detailed information or diagram about making strut lift tops for Liberty on here - I've searched but came up nothing. I'm looking at 2" or 3" tops. I already have the blocks but it just the tops I need to make.
Cheers

Found couple of threads... is it 6-7mm offset per inch for the front. 3-4mm for the rear?
So, if I wanted 3" in front it would be 18mm offset? and 2" in rear would be 6mm offset.... that sounds a lot?

Maybe 3" is a bit much?
