Hi guys/girls,
Currently in the process of 'attempting' to fit some lifted leaf springs that I got from my local 4x4 shop for my 1990 isuzu MU and would like a definitive answer as to what year and model rodeo springs are interchangeable with the 1990 MU?
They supplied springs are about 4cm shorter eye to eye than the existing ones, which means that I cant fit them in my driveway...however the guy from the shop reckons that they would be able to flatten them out with the MU on a hoist and then fit them. Im not familiar with this technique.....anyone else vouch for this?
Also my original springs have 3 leafs. The ones that they have supplied had 5 leafs, but one leaf has been taken out so it is now has 4 leafs...I guess i wont know until i drive the car if/when they are fitted but I am hoping the 4 leafs will not be to harsh a ride. They are EFS springs FWIW.
To top it off the new u-bolts that they supplied insides diameter is to narrow....I am wondering if this is an indicator that they may have got the wrong year model rodeo suspension in the first place?
Any help would be much appreciated!
P.S I have done a search but cant find any definitive answers to my questions...
