2012 VW Touareg 2” Forge Motorsport Overland Lift Install

In this video I show most of the removal of the stock suspension. The installation is not well documented, but is mostly the the opposite, with long pry tools.

thanks for sharing...I have a 2014 - have been looking for details on my options. I like it - not too much but enough to be an improvement.

What size tires can you increase to from stock? Do you lose turning radius?

Don't use a hammer on the upper (or any) ball joint - get yourself a ball joint separator!

What's the price of that kit??

Hi! Great instal! You said that the BILSTEINs don’t fit with the 2”lift spacers?
My question is, why? Are the BILSTEIN thicker in diameter or what didn’t fit? Possible solution is to widen the hole of the spacer…?

[@havakoverland1655]

The shape of the Forge spacer fits the very specific shape of the stock strut. The Bilstein strut spring seat is flat, making the spacer not fit properly.

Couldn’t you just use the OE stock spring seat in the BILSTEIN?

[@havakoverland1655]

The seat is welded in place on the strut tube.

@@havakoverland1655 that is very interesting! I actually have the BILSTEIN's in hand and the spacer fits perfectly on the spring plate...I can send you email with picture and part-numbers to verify!
