With all this talk of to high/to low
Post it up rig: sj51 tyres: 33x9.5x15 bfg km1 height to bottom of chassy rail(not crossmember): 15 inches do you want it higher or lower: id like to drop a inch out of it
rig: '89 WT tyres: 32x9.5x15 Pedes, measured 32.7, beadlocked 15x7 F100 rims and 1 inch wheel spacers height to bottom of chassy rail(not crossmember): 19 inches WB: 86 inches do you want it higher or lower: Was perfect, only ever felt unstable when climbing or decending steep steps so the fron or rear would tend to get a bit light however a longer WB would mean I would have bellied out.
The LJ is 13.5" to the chassis rails (flat belly with belly plate at the same height) with a 77" wheelbase on 235/85r16 tyres. Sometimes it bellys, sometimes it rolls... If I change the ride height it will just make it do more of one and less of the other.
If you're bellying out on a 86" wb and 19" chassis height what chance do I have Might need 35s
Definitely keen to see how yours goes a longer WB would possibly have helped me in some situations but not a loss in hieght. Harvey, Brunswick, Collie and the likes should be ok Mick and Ante seem to handle things pretty well, Birko did Bobs on 32's in his LWB, its just unfortunate I dont have access to the Toodyay property anymore.
Here is one of a couple of vids/pics I have where it has got hung up on something on the belly.
Ive got 17" to bottom of chassis On 32"s that measure more like 33"s Standard lwb wb
I have it setup quite stiff with the resting height quite high as its my daily i didnt want a boat at high speeds. I reckon i could prob drop 2" and soften it up a heap once its retired from daily duties. It does flex ok as long as im not going too fast, 4.1 diffs and 6:5s make it super slow and easy to manage
