Hi all in the process off lowering a 2 door 4x4 surf and seems like this is the place to get the intelligent information to do the job right at the moment the front seems to be running on the bump stops (not very nice on these roads over here) will lower ball joint spacers improve the ride Thanks Greg

 

Welcome to TM. I do not know much about the surfs but I will give it a shot. Did you do a lower ball joint flip? is there any spacing in there? Also I would suggest removing the bump stops. I dont have any on my truck.

 

Welcome! and i also have no bumpstops. so i woud try cutting or removing them.

 

Thanks for that I'll try the hack saw bit first on the bump stops, can you explian a b/j flip as it does'nt seem to be a common thing over here does it make a difference that mines a 4x4

 

I have no idea with the 4x4 surf. If you could post some pictures of the lower arms and where the spindle attaches (basically your front setup) we could give you some pointers. I am very new to dropping vehicles myself but i did do my 2wd pickup. There is a few other people here that know a lot about it. I am sure they will chime in.

 

Sorted just trawled through the site and found SD yota's piece on doing the ball joint flip now understand Brill site if you look hard enough you can find the answer Thanks for your help

 

Actually that is what i followed when i did the ball joint flip on my truck. Well done thread. SD YOTA rocks!
