Rears in the front will be a little soft i think.
my front coils are a lot thicker then the rears.

From these measurments I'm starting to think I had no lift. I have 730mm from the bottom of my 16 inch rim to the wheel arch with my dodgy 30mm body lift ( came with car )

Is that with the XL7 dobinson springs? so you have them AND a 30mm Body Lift is that right?

Sorry it's the spring coming loose at full drop because I had to cut 2turns off to get the car to sit lower they are about 430 now . 5.5 lift sounds about right
that's y I said if I was to get another set made I would go 10 turns 15mm wire 500 long
I don't like the springs coming lose
I had td spring befor but they were way to soft

WOW!!! 5.5 inch lift, what lift is in the front to keep it level?

What is the extended lenght of the commodore shock coz i heard there is a longer and shorter one? thats what pedders told me anyways.

I've got GV TD springs down back. Lifted it about 90mm from what it was (sagging original stock springs.)

I'm happy so far, but then I'm not that fussy either.

ive got about 710 rim to guard in the front it sits a bit higher at the back.would love to go higher in the front but that about all i can befor i have no down travel left
more hight would be nice , ithink joe blow should make some 6in portals for us lol.
there are different como shock, mine are the longers ones. spent hours going through the book at super cheap looking at all the lengths.
u dont want to go to soft on the spring or it will fall over all the time
when my mate set up his 4 link in his sierra it rolled over on both sets of soft coils now that he have stiff ones in and never feels unstable on side angles

i was going to get them in kings but king springs told me that they wont fit as where they curl into a smaller diameter at the top of the springs is actually smaller on the GV spring than the vit one so they wont fit in the groove.

[DarkHorse]

Fits fine. Checked with Tough Dog before I bought them, and they said they'd fit too.

yes please part number and open/ closed lengths of shocks would be great.

I have slightly changed the title, as i may as well leave vit sus stuff in ere for my questions.

How do the bushes for the rear arms handle? Do they have to be replaced often when you lift them and acheive more flex?

How much are they new and can you get poly's?

I have 4 lower arms here, I will be extending them for the 4 link..
