Thread: anyone running 'suspension stuff' 3" lift?

I run it on my d1, seems good so far, but my car isn't rego'd so havn't been able to test it on road
I run 4" longer shocks
You will most likely have to extend your bump stops along with alot of other things like trailing arms or trailing arm bushes, brakelines etc aparently you should change you caster to but i havn't noticed any effects from this

CHEERS TIM.

Wondering if anyone out there is running shanes 3" setup? If so what the Hub to Guard measurements are. Also what shocks are used

cheers

Hak will answer shortly no doubt, but these springs give a really nice lift!!! I'm not sure what the H2G measurements are but its way more than 3". I'm pretty sure he is running Bilstein 12" short body shocks (remote canister)

Hak is on 34x11.5-16 Simex JT2's also which are 35" in diameter to put things into more perspective.

I am running the 3" Lift from Shane. Only relevance would be the front as I have SLS on the rear. The front sits at 4" (not complaining there) and hasn't sagged in the 6 months I have been running it with ARB Steel Bullbar, Winch and Dual batteries.

Hub to guard is right on 585mm which is close enough to 4" over stock.

Shocks are the 2" longer Bilsteins but changing these over as soon as I can to utilise some of that extra articulation potential that is there. Anyone want some big red BANANAS

Simon,

Where do those flares come from? I assume that the guards have had the angle grinder treatment as well?

Franz

What shocks will you run?
Is your front DS stock?
Any caster issues?

thanks

Gday Franz

Hak is the man, but I'm pretty sure they are the Rangie Spares flares. I'm not sure which ones exactly, but I think they are the new style. There was heaps of cutting.

Cheers
