1981 DATSUN 210 BAJA

[FCRUDY]

Hi i was wondering if any one had any info on adding a lift on a datsun 210 as well as to what shcok would fit it im trying to go up 3 inches on it if posible.

We have no info. Never heard of anyone raising it, but only lowering it.

 

It can be raised the same as other coil sprung unibody vehicles.

I lifted a Celica...SHould be the same principle. I used spacers on the struts and larger springs in the rear. The springs I used were from a Ford minivan.

That rocks!

Very cool, I like the lift look. I have leaf spring lifts. I have an extra set. So far I have lifted my Datsun with 14" in tires.

You could go with coilovers and lengthen the strut tubes and add spacers under the strut cartridge.. spring over on a solid rear axle...

 

Add a skid plate for the engine, transmission, gas tank, and center chunk of the differential.

Another good idea is a driveshaft hoop.

That's a good answer. I wish I could do all that.

Hey they have one of those Celica's in the wrecking yards not far from my house. Engine still in tact.

In the rear, it would be fairly easy to mount a coilover type spring.

I am building a mount to use a swift barrel type spring in my 210. With the adapter I am building it lifts the rear 3" and is near end of the stock shock travel. It lifts the rear 1 3/4" without the adapter. I like these springs because they have plenty of travel before coil bind.

 

I am going to be using a 16" 150lb/in and it is a good bit stiffer than stock but not too stiff for offroad. Did pretty good on my test-drive.

I am still searching for springs for the front, but they will probably be 150Lb/in and at least 12" long.

 

@ 1.75" of lift on 175/65R14 tires:
