Lifted P38 on air - questions

I wouldn't suggest that but others might say different. You'll be picking wheels off the ground too easily so there probably isn't too much benefit. You could look at changing the eas heights instead. But this too will encourage to lift wheels off the ground.

Ahh. Just read front shocks all round.

You have gen 3's yes? Otherwise you'll over extend the rear bags.

But I reckon the front wheels might still lift a little easier due to being near the limit of their down travel in high mode. The rear will be almost the same as the 145's in extended length.

There would be no problem running the front boges all round. Theoretically you will lose 2" of wheel travel in the front by doing that (in conjunction with the 2" spacers), which defeats the purpose of the kit in the first place!

Ill happily run them in the rear, but the front definitely needs a +2" shock to operate in a happy stroke.

I've not heard of anyone running the front boges all-round with lifted springs though!

I see what you mean, so it would be ok to use the standard front boges in the rear and fit t144s in the front like your doing.

If thats the case I need some t144s, im in Perth how much are they

Paul

I know a good pair that you might be able to buy hey Keith??? But the problem you might have is different valving between Boges and Terrafirma. Although some rumours have it that they are similar, well closer to Boges than the Bilsteins I have... but I can' tell seeing mine have been sitting in the garage for quite some time.

Yes pbrown

that's with gen 3s,

I'm also looking to lift my p38 2 inches, the 285 km2s are on their way.

Having problems locating 2 inch extended brake lines though m&m just emailed me and said not made not available,

Are these generally being custom made? and only required for the rear?

I've got a 2" lift on mine and not needed to go down the path of extended lines.

Gary

That's handy to know Gary, Ill tick that one of my list

slightly of the track, replaced p38 my heater matrix today without removing dash or the steering wheel by the suggested shortcut. Im probably not the first though

Paul

So the tf144 are the front and it needs the TF145 for the rears?

How much will you want for the TF144s? I don't have the money ATM but look to be doing similar to you shortly.

Steve

As Gary said, you can get away without extending brake lines, you may need to lower the bracket a few inches though. I went custom with my brake lines. They were all extended by 3". In hindsight I could have gone 2" and been fine, but I'm not one for playing with close tolerances so I have left a bit of room to move with mine.

The ABS/wheel speed sensor will need to come down though. Mine now (without dislocation pins) stretches the lines without the bag even being fully extended in the rear. You can drop the bracket for the brake line which will also drop the ABS line at the same time.

As for TF144's, if you would like my brand new, only fitted and never actually driven on, send me a PM and we can organise a price.

The TF145's are the rear +2" shocks, yes.
