On friday, my rear suspension gear rocked up (happy birthday to me, love from me). Brendan from ultimate was super helpful via email in organising and educating me in what I needed. As per everyone's recommendation, 5* service. And a big thanks to macca for giving me a kick up the butt to get it done.
I need to say up front that I didn't change due to being unhappy with the current set up. I loved it, but it wasn't set up to full capabilities/what I needed/wanted. I went ultimate partly to see what the fuss was about and because of their service they provide.
My original set up was purchased from climax suspension. It was a 2 inch lift using bilstein shocks and modified king springs. The springs were also set up to carry a canopy and some weight (which I no longer carry). As a result it ended up being quite firm, and therefore little abilitu to flex. It did sit quite high though. I began to play around with the rear springs to see if we could get it softer. I succeeded, however needed to be done properly. What I did can be seen above in previous post.
So on friday I took some measurements:
Height on flat surface: 595mm rear end on both sides. I then went and flexed the rear end. Don't have any ramps locally so no RTI available, however I took centre hub to arch measurements again. At full tuck, measurement was 400mm. At full droop was 790mm.
