  • Recommendations for 30-40mm lift, no towing

    Hi all,

    I've read loads of suspension recommendation threads and picked up lots of good info. If I was going for a standard 50mm lift it would be easy but my circumstances are a bit different to most people. I'm very height restricted - any more than a 30-40mm lift and it won't fit in my garage (and that includes getting a new garage door ). I also never tow.

    I have a bar, winch, dual batteries and 4mm bash plate up front. The rear is almost always unloaded except for camping trips when it's packed with gear. The front is currently sitting at 740, so sagging by ~20mm. The rear sits at 790 unloaded, loaded I haven't measured but I'm guessing it drops by ~20mm as well, maybe a little more.

    I'm looking at a lift for two reasons:
    1. To help maintain clearance when loaded for camping. I feel like even a moderate lift will help with bottoming out on the tracks, especially if it doesn't sag.
    2. To improve handling. With OEM suspension it drives like a boat. When we're not camping it's my wife's daily driver, so it needs to stay reasonably comfortable, but a firmer ride than standard will be fine.

    I'm leaning towards constant load springs for the front to handle all the gear, and maybe medium for the back to minimise sag when loaded but retain a bit of comfort.

    Any thoughts on shock/spring combos that could work?

    Cheers

    King Springs makes a standard height spring which would suit the rear. It is stiffer than factory coils which will drop less when you're loaded up. The lift is about 20mm. Part number is KTRS-102.

    Otherwise, KTRR-102 will give you 40-50mm rear lift.

      Also ARB/Old Man Emu has a 35mm lift option I believe.

        Thanks amts. Is there a king spring you would recommend for the front? Something that would give a similar ~20mm lift with the accessories?

        Do you think just doing the springs and leaving the OEM shocks would be ok for a small lift?

          I've heard it's more like 50mm in the rear if it's unloaded, but I'll ask ARB about it. They'll be at a caravan and camping show near me in a couple of weeks so it might be a good time to pick up a show special.

            I had an OME 30mm kit fitted , due to garage door clearance issues. Rides well as a result. I see if I can find part numbers

              That would be great, thanks.

                If you go into ARB it'll be the same. That's what I've got. With standard wheels/ tyres for now, and with the lower lift (I think the rear has the same part numbers, or the front does - forgot) and with a Rhino BackBone system I can get into shopping carparks with a 1.95M limit bar overhead. From my measurements you're talking millimetres under it. Not sure if I gained any height or lost any with the Backbone though.

                  Awesome, that's what I wanted to hear. Looks like I'll be getting this lift. I also have the backbone, it sits about 20mm lower than the legs.

                    I think that Dobinsons talk about their lift being around 40mm but might be more or less depending on the spring rate selected.
