Ah yes cold in canberra, Cold ere too! Will be down there in 2 weeks!
Back to topic*


Lh side Rh side

Front-65 Front-55
Rear-60 Rear-60

So if i swapped the front spring sides it will probably level out with me driving...

If Bretts measure of standard height is right that means your running 33s with only a 2 inch body lift and some shackles clearing them. That can't be right. :?

2" bl and 33"s (really 32's) Stock ride height in springs and shackles, stock bumps!! Major front guard(front lip)scrubbage due to diff far too forward, and springs too soft which makes it bottom out over the slightest divot in the dirt, Beautiful on road.. Working that out..

the car i look at is 100% stock.

bluesuzy should clear his wheels with a body lift because he has moved his front diff forward and his rear diff back if i remember right?

how does the set up flex? how many mm between the diff and bumpstop when flexed?

It might be, he said they only measure 32". Mine measure 31" and I have only 2" springs, no bodylift, no shackle lift. I'm not surprised he is having problems with tyre rub though, mine does the same thing when crossed up. A little grinder love and it'd be all good.

Try adding 50mm/2" from Brett' s measurements?

Yeah I could of done that,
But unless Brett's is with new springs it will not be a true measurement. Has anyone who has done a spring lift and measured this?

No one is going to have a definate mm. As there is too many differences!

Different Makes of 2" Springs
Different Ages
Different Conditions

So if its over 100mm. She's lifted 2"

If your front springs are flat, Thats standard.
