100 Series Suspension

[roguetraveller]

G'day there fellow Expeditioners,
I have a question on what kind of suspension mods you are doing to your IFS 100 series. I am currently running standard springs and torsions bars with 4 bilstein shocks which offer a great ride. I would like a higher ride height but the bilsteins I have don't allow for a lift kit. The rear end is sagging a bit from towing a camper trailer so I will need new springs soon. The cruiser rides fairly high standard and I think new springs would give me some height back anyway, so please add your thoughts and comments,

Cheers

Which bilsteins are you running?

Hey mate I can only read 24-02 & BE5-273 the rest of the numbers have worn off, I emailed Bilstein dealer here in Australia and he informed that there not suitable to be raised. I haven't had them long and wouldn't get rid of them just yet.
Cheers mate

IIRC those numbers make it a 4600 series Heavy Duty. If you have stock control arms you can lift using the 4600's. I have OME 860 rears with OME torsion bars ~ 2.5 inch lift on my 100. I have the 4600 series shocks. they work fine.
