Levelling a Brumby!!

hey all,
i have a brumby and the rear sits alot higher than the front, maybe 1 or 2 inches. Is there any way of just lifting the front so the car sits level with the rear height?? i like the height of the back.
thanx

on the front suspension there are two nuts that raise the spring on its shock mount
if you jack you car up and wind these nuts up to their full adjustment you should raise the front suspension by an inch at least
otherwise there is a nut on the rear torsion bar (crawl under the car ) and you can wind the rear end down

wont adjusting those nuts change the camber as well causing uneven tyre wear?

Check out the distance between the rear bump stop and its HIT point. Factory is 20mm only and must maintain at least two thirds of that to be legal, so you can't just dump it in the bum. The rear adjuster is central on the duck bill of rear torsion bar axle. Nut is best accessed from above in the tray - if only Fuji gave an access hole for it

yep and so does any other modification of the suspension
thats the easiest gain in height without putting a lift kit in

if you do lift the suspension just watch for uneven tyre wear
