Thread: 02 110 Ride Height

After trawling the forum I will probaly upgrade the 110 Front springs as we have a bar and winch fitted.

Currently , measurements from ground to underside of wheel arch flares at the top is ;

Rear 910mm
Front 845mm

We also have an Outback drawer system fitted so when loaded will the ride height be right at 845mm front and back

What is the normal ride height dimesnions as outlined above


I continue to learn about the new Fender

They are great - the standard 130 springs are more heavy duty than the 110 ones and only cost around 100 bucks a corner. I have gone down the path of using one of the aftermarket guys and had nothing but problems. I changed back to the 130 spring and have been extremely happy. Go original where possible I reckon.

In regards to the rear, I have had custom springs made up to deal with the specific weight loads that I carry (I tow a kanga camper trailer etc). I think this is the way to go - it is much less complicated that putting air bags etc in the back to level the rear - ie much less to go wrong in the middle of nowhere. And I know that this is not original but the original springs could not deal with the weights I carry. Again this is around 100 bucks a corner. Go for billstein shocks and a steering dampner if you have the cash - awesome combo .

Sorry I dont have exact measurements etc but Im sure you will get plenty of replies from people that do!
