Ride Heights

[jan.dup]

Yea Buzzy,

You know how it goes - when you worry about an obstacle its only in retrospect you realise you shoul've taken pics of it. I will deffo make a mental note to not slip on the photo opportunity as it would give a much better indication of my concern than just a feeling !!!
Will post pics when doing something similar -"probably this weekend"

[jgoosen]

Front 55cm
Rear 57.5cm

Al on stock supsension and a canopy on the rear.

[jgoosen]

[Buzzy]

FL = 581 FR = 585

RL = 640 RR = 647

Dobinsons Kit, (C43-188 front springs) with 10mm spacers on top of front struts - 2000km since install:
DF= 580mm - PF= 580 - DR= 645 - PR=650mm

Now 6,000 km since the install
DF= 576mm - PF= 575 - DR= 640 - PR=644mm

Buzzy & FSC no sign of uneven sag..... yet

Ok not sure if the bullbar makes all the difference, but my heights havnt changed one bit...

FR 610
RL 605
RR 670
RL 670

Surely the bullbar cant drop it by 30odd mm.

[Buzzy]

ML,
How can your heights be 30mm higher than ours?
I have 2" lift, 10mm strut spacers so theres another 20mm and I have had to "modify my upper bump stops a fraction with this lift, and yours is 30mm higher?

[ML-VR08]

My bump stops are trimmed slightly... im running EFS Struts, stock coils and 25mm Snake Racing Spacers, so there is 50mm straight up with the Spacers, If the housing for the EFS Struts are 15mm above stock i assume there is the other 30mm, as i think the ratio is 2:1 from what i have been told.

Mind you im not totally happy about my lift, i dont like the springs or the spacers, i think the springs are far to compressed and give a very bump type ride when offroading. Im going to rectify this one day, use custom springs and then possibly 10mm spacer, but i want to keep the height im at now.

Buzzy, he might be measuring with his fish measuring stick

Thought I should share for those interested in something less the 2" lifts.

Needed some shocks, stockers were shot so decided to do the lot and go for an EFS package at 20 mm to keep everything legal etc.

Befores
FR 525
FL 522
RR 580
RL 590

After
FR 560
FL 558
RR 610
RL 612

So for a 20 mm lift gained between 30 to 35 mm. Extremely happy with the ride, no more wallowy front end. On the rough stuff tracks a hell of a lot better and doesn't step out as before.

How about an update on yours Buzzy? Is the rear leaning yet or holding level?

[Buzzy]

I will do some measuring thisarvo and see whats happening.

[Buzzy]

FL = 582 FR = 585

RL = 640 RR = 650

Still sitting good, do have the bloody squeek back though

[Greedy]

At least it's still close to level. Saves the missus thinking you're just getting fresh with you falling into the passenger seat.
