Alrighty started looking at suspension for the short one (03 SQ420) :D
Going to go with Dobinson 35mm springs and struts with 30mm spacers in the rear
Now i want to run 30mm spacers on the front aswell but i'm not sure if the dobinson struts will be ok with this or will i need a strut spacer aswell?
I'm going to run diff drop brackets too

Cheers, Joe

front's only need a 1/2 sized spacer to the rear due to the position of the spring in relation to where the wheel it.

eg, 15mm front & 30mm rear

have a suss of chop's build, he's running spacers. not sure what size & if he's got diff drop brackets.

I have 17mm (equal to 34mm) spacers with 40mm springs and Ironman struts which are 40mm longer. I don't seem to have a problem and no top out. no diff drop brackets.

Kate's GV has the same set up as Chops (15mm front & 30mm rear) :wink:
The front end on Kate's sits abit lower then the rear when unloaded

I like how this one sits even front & rear (this has 30mm coil spacer up front)

Also id like to run with a front bar and winch one day
