Thread: Springz n other things done to death

<span style="color:blue">when taking measurements...always measure from the bottom of the
guard (wheel arch) to the bottom of the rim.....this eliminates the variables from the
tyres...(ie...wear and pressure...)......</span>

I was informed by 3 suspension shops to take the measurements from the center of the hub to the bottom of the wheel arch , this they said is the TRUE EYE BROW READING ......so i dunno just going by that


if it makes any difference all tyres are brand new about 3000km 235x85x16

<span style="color:blue">all you are measuring is the difference in suspension before and after
on each corner.....

the lip of the rim is much easier to measure from than trying to guess the
centre of the hub.....
will give the same result in the end....just more accurate....(as long as the rims
arent all bent....)</span>

ok standby gotta get my tape again :roll:

<span style="color:blue">these measurements are only good to check how much lift you gain
after the mods are done.....

or to compare one side with the other......


for all measurements...the vehicle MUST be on level ground.....</span>

ON LEVEL HARDSTAND


from the bottom of each rim to bottom of the wheel arch
drivers side front 715mm
driver side rear 745mm
pass side front 705mm
pass side rear 730mm

so its still all over the place :roll: :roll:

<span style="color:blue">is a hardstand the ground....?



either you need to put on a bit weight or get a lighter passenger.....</span>

hmmm i was told by ARB when i asked that it was normal for Rangies to lean even with brand new springs ....weird i thought 8O leaning to the drivers side i can understand with the weight of the transfer , steering , ect ect ect

But Lovells and Kings said this was not the normal

the other pain is the prev owner had them brand new sitting in their boxes so i fitted them , and yes fitted to the correct sides .

Hardstand is the concrete garage in my driveway .
