Hi all, just wondering how much adjustment I'll get out of my rear suspension in my 88 Brumby, I've heard a few different numbers but the general idea seems to be about an inch both up and down, and I've heard of the welding onto the bolt trick, but I want to know if I can drop the rear by about two inches without modifying too much, I know I can adjust it down but I want to know of any other ideas floating around about this

If you want it lower loosen the bolt off.

If that's not enough you can remove the torsion bar and "clock it" a tooth or two up or down until you're happy with the ride height. After that you've got to look into shock setup...

Going for a lowered brumby are you?

Cheers

I'm just sort of wondering how much adjustment I'll get, and if I take the bolt all the way out will it be a bastard to get back in or not

Yeah, it's RWD, locked diff, exhaust dumping straight out under cab, LED valve caps, got all the goods inside, soon to be lowered, maybe convert to a 5 stud so I can get some nicer/bigger rims to make it look a bit lower and better, thinking about 4-6" stainless stacks, some HID driving lights or a light bar, big tough bullbar, and looking at a turbo setup for maybe mid next year

The rear torsion bar adjustment provides about 3" of ride height variation. You can safely remove the adjusting bolt but that would allow water and crap into the housing. Just back the bolt out until theres no pressure on it, and leave it in there.

So from all the way down to all the way up is about 3"? And yeah I was worried if I couldn't get it back in then I would get it full of crap haha

Thanks for you help, I appreciate it
