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.







And here's it on fraser just the other day.





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.

Shamo, your missus should be a D2, best flex I seen in ages!!

Bugger the toyo, lets see HER do it again!!!!

I wanted to post these but couldn't find them, they were taken by a forum members father on a trip to the Lithgow area.

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

Nice flex.

What suspension do you have there?

Any mod you did to get this flex??
