Thread: Lifted P38 on air - questions

Keithy - could you post the heights you've ended up with - from centre of wheel to underside of wheel arch?

Great work. It looks monsterous - in a good way.


Appreciated. Sean.

Will do Sean.

On the topic of bump stops again, I'm off to a wreckers shortly to inspect a set of XJ Jeep front bump stops.

Nowhere - and I mean nowhere, stock XJ Cherokee bump stops in 'new' condition. Not Jeep, not the suspension shops, not the 4wd accessory shops (ARB, etc)... If they appear to fit ill order a set.

Cheers
Keith

I had the issue of the spacer dislocating again today as I was putting the Rangie back in the driveway. This time it was not as pretty, the clip securing the dislocation pin actually snapped clean off and bent the mount at the diff where the spacer sits (a hammer will fix it!).

I'm making clamps to secure all 4 spacers to the diff and getting limiting straps made up. No way am I going to risk popping a spring over an extra 4" of wheel travel...

I apologise Sean, I didn't get the chance to measure the heights due to this issue!

Here's the pic!

Cheers

Wow Keith that looks bad! Its as if there needs to be a bigger circular plate welded to the diff for the spacer to sit on so not so much strain goes on that pin.

Brian.

Yeah, a massive flat plate, almost twice the size of the current one - essentially a massive foot!

Great idea!

If you can make a larger plate on the diff and bolt the spacer to it so there is only 1 dislocation pin for the alloy piston on the air spring where it goes through the spacer. That way there is only 1 pivot (move) point for the whole shebang.

You can guess what ill be doing tomorrow! Feel like chucking your eyes over it?
