Thread: bump stop clearances or rim/hub to guard measurements

Hi Rick,

The measurements for the 90's might be inconsistent also. Shows 510mm rim to guard on some and low 400's on others.. 510mm seems too high also.. that would have the standard shocks with very little extension left...
485mm sounds pretty close Phil>

Cheers

ok,
my 90 stock at 20 thou k's my03 mod.
front 480mm rear 510mm
at that hub to guard my bumpstops were 85mm front and 90mm rear.

now for d1 as per NVD sheet
all modles up to 3.9l 5door including diesel.
as writen
standard height...460mmF 490mmR
minium height ... 440mmF 465mmR

these are hub to guard measurements.
LR do not measure bumpstop heights.

cheers phil

Mine has a 2" lift and I am getting 560mm front and rear (centre of hub to plastic arch), with about 125/130mm bump stop clearances front and rear.

Thanks guys.

At that hub to guard measurement I see that there will be a severe lack of down travel with standard length shocks on standard mounts.

I have some firestone airbags in the rear of my 90 and have been playing around with various ride heights, shock lengts and various other things, but with hub to guard of 515mm there is roughly 6.5" of shock shaft showing on the rear shocks(out of 8.5" for std rear shocks), so bringing it up to 560/570mm "H to G" there is only about 1" of down travel in the shocks left.

No wonder they top out on the shocks all the time with OME lifts and shocks.

Cheers
