Hi, I've just done my springs, shocks etc in a SWB GQ. I purchased a set of spring compressors as I was installing a 50mm lift kit. Front was easy...remember a little bit of judicious DOWN WARDS jacking on the front and rear axles will give you a lot more room to work in and less tedious spring compression.
The rear was sightly more difficult as the top shockie mount nuts were difficult to get at. I dropped the tail pipe to make the LH side easier.
A good rachet spanner rather than a socket and rachet was my best tool. 17mm and 19mm are needed.I also fitted Polyairs...and they were easy to fit and run the air lines etc. I did notice a change in the vibration habits of the truck probably due to the slight difference in the drive shaft angles.
Cheers Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for that. i have a decent set of rachet spanners too.

Not even looking at Polyairs at this time. Seems like we will get it done
without too much drama..........I hope.

Thanks Mick15,

Had not considered the breather line. Good info..

Tomorrow is the day. With luck we should have time for lunch, early finish then happy hour:))))

Thanks Col,

The springs are marked left and right...front/rear, and in fact the taller ones are on the right. Not by much but I figured it was because of the permanent weight on the right......always have a driver, but didn't think about spare wheel.
