probably opening up a can of worms here but can some owners post up the coil lengths and rates for their 2 inch lifts as well as shock lengths for max articulation.

I know it all depends on what you are carrying ie winches, dual batts, drawers etc but can you post up what you are carrying and what works well for you.

The 2 door I am picking up next week has a two inch coil lift but its done with standard length coils and 50mm spacers under the coil seat. It appears to have been done quite some time ago and seems sturdy but I am not liking it much and want to replace them with some 2 inch lifted coils. Plus the shocks are stuffed so I might as well do the lot while I am under it.

I will ring Shane at suspension stuff next week as he has given me some great advice in the past but I would like an owners opinion on what has worked for you.

thanks

In my rangie I fitted 50mm rised King springs and Justin sold me Delphi Carbon shocks that are awesome. Ask Justin about them

King springs: front KRFR-01 rear: KRRR-02
Delphi shocks: rear DA4182, Front DA4181

It would be better to ask Justin about the Delphi specs because I do not have the meassurements handy.

He have the same shocks in his Rangie

Mark, I'd be looking at Tims' set up. Very well balanced, carries a load and has good flex. I found 220lb good for the rear at 17 inch. The front I used 160lb at 16.something inch in the front. This gives 2 inch lift for standard rrc.
