Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
You're gonna rip that crap off and put a cool lift on it anyway..you watch reinman..
It just goes with the territory.. I bought my old 98 with the blown motor in the two boxes for a hobby to play with in my shop on the time off days.. Now, I check my cart in the morning, and run the dog with it, then work it all day if it's my day off.. then put it to bed at night.. |

I'm already going to have to lift a deer 4 inches higher to get it in the back. As we get older that job seems to get tougher, and for some reason it always works out that I'm there to help my son in law load his deer, but he isn't around when it's time to load mine. Quote:

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
Getting my lift sorted I was not going to let it beat me and I didn't want to spend money on spindle extensions.
So I got some 20mm solid spacers made at my local machine shop, and put them under the front springs rear mounts, at $25 a pair I now have plenty of clearance. I will post some photos tomorrow in case it helps out anyone else, now just waiting on my shock extensions from the good old USA (we don't seem to have any in Australia I think they are banned for safety issues) Anyway thanks for all your help guys I am starting to see my cart take shape again.

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
So the spacers on the back of the springs lowered everything enough so the spring would miss the tierod. Looks like a nice easy solution to your problem.
My only problem has been with my tires. I got a good deal on some 22-11-10 tires with 10 inch offset rims. They don't hit my front cowling, but if I turn real sharp to the left the tire hits the brake arm where it sticks through the floor. Looks like I might need spacers. |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
Thanks Scotty, I am pretty happy with the end result
reinman88 not sure if these spacers will work for your problem but bfore I got the spacers made I just blocked up the springs with some flat pieces of steel to see it would work then got the spacers made. Aussie |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
My problem is a fat and or flat tire. The 11 wide on the tire is the problem, so I'll probably need wheel spacers to get them farther out.
I did have to do some trimming on my back fenders since the 22 inch tires wanted to hit front and back. I was worried about the top, and it turned out front and back were the problem. But a cutoff wheel on a dremel tool took care of the problem. Now I need fender flares for the front. I have a couple of big mudflaps that I was going to use on an old dually pickup I once had. They aren't real thick or heavy, just nice sized. I'm thinking of cutting them down a bit and using them on the back. Might be able to hang them from a support under the box. Haven't looked that far yet. |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
I saw some rear flairs on a JD Gator the other day that mount to the bottom of the bed and come up past the edges. Nice look and would probably work on a WH. All I have to do now is win the lotto to be able to pay for them..
