Good work. I've not played with 5 link setups so it's been an interesting read for me.

Just don't look at the concreting wire - it's realy not there;)

definately not hijacking as D2 owners we all know how hard it is to do lifts well for me it is !!!!!! bring on this info i say ...not just for the bigger lifts but for the 2" 3" and more
i have learnt alot allready ,as i was saying to Simon (Slunnie) give me a drive line and i can sort it gears/ ratio ect but suspension is where i fall short and all this is a helping to sort out my downfalls in suspensions

keep it coming on all D2 suspension info

cheers kelvin

G'day Kelvin,
Ive got a Rovertym 3" lift with all the bits and I mean everything! sitting here waiting to go on the D2. She flexes good now but i hope even more once all the goodies including Fox shocks go on. Rest assured i will post build pics and flex shots once i'm done.
Baffle has an awesome setup too it seems. Keep to flex shots coming..

Cheers

George.

The first pic you have seen before Kelvin but i thought i'd throw it up again for everyone to have a look.

Like to see a toyo do this....

I was going to replace the air bags with coils but after going to fraser and loading it up and seeing how bloody well they go when its packed up as opposed to my mates ass dragging D1 i don't think i will, and especially with a flex like this.

Also i've been wanting to put on bigger tyres but not sure how the flex will be affected with them... i was going to go 33 but im thinking the 32s might effect it less and still make the car as capable as running 33s... not sure though.

265/75/16s, I'm going back to 235/85/16 because the 265s rub on the radius arms at full lock and they are 1kilo each heavier which has caused a bit of power lose, just want some power back when towing, the 235/85s are only about 0.2 smaller in rolling diameter so no big drop in diff clearence.

by comparing the pictures from the first post i have drastically improved my flex

Hey mate, that was when I just had 2 inch lift blocks under the SLS in the Rear and 2 inch lift HD springs in the front end. Couldn't tell you the brand sorry, but they were light blue if that helps in any way... Nothing else was changed otherwise. Tyres are 245/75r16 too
