TD 100 Series Landcruiser IFS 2003 Torsion Bars

Paul

I don't have one, but I'd tend towards caution and check the implications with the stealer. It could have dire effects on any warranty issues which may arise.
Just a thought ...

I've got a friend with an auto TDI IFS 100 series.
He has been told that currently no one offers heavy duty torsion bars and those companies that did have withdrawn them from the market.
He has had it for about 6 months now.

i have a 2004 Sahara (petrol) and i am having the same bullbar and winch fitted by ARB next week, i'll let you know how it goes... i had the same setup on my last vehicle (2001 GXL) and had no problems with standard suspension... over 120,000klms although it wasn't IFS...

A friend of mine who works at ARB has told me that will have torsions to suit IFS 100 this month. Apparently they are extremely well priced.

I have a 100 TD (late 2002) with IFS . we fitted heavy duty springs with LTR OME shocks with a 35 mm lift on the front and 50 mm on back.also fitted colour coded Shara bar with Warn winch.We have travelled a lot of Kms off road in all conditions with out any problems.

Paul:

i have just got my sahara back after the fitting of the bullbar \ winch \ towbar and the only difference seems to be a 10mm drop in the height of the front end... only time will tell if it will go further but i don't expect it will... the GXL i had had no problem in that regard ...

Hi there,

I have a 100 series TD with IFS...

I know exactly what you are going through because i went throught the same thing a little while back!!!

I have an ARB Deluxe winch bar and a 9000lb winch...

I changed my suspension through ARB and got 65mm in the rear (i went for the 200kn rating in the rear) and only 35mm in the front...

I did not change the torsion bars because i could not get a straight answer from anybody as to the result i could expect so i got the original ones wound up as far as they could go.....

I was told by many retailers and manufacturers that by changing the torsion bars i would eliminate some of the sag, but i could not be guaranteed any lift... Many places told me that i could only expect 10 to 15mm of additional lift... i guess you need to decide weather it is worth spending the money on something that is just guesswork.....

The other thing that you need to consider is where your torsion bars are set at the moment... if they are already wound up, then you will get very little difference in the result...

In the end, i did not choose to upgrade the torsion bars because of the cost vs uncertainty...

Let me know how you go with it all!!!

Cheers,

Landcruiser.....
