Suspension Measurements 2

[Luxxxy Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Luxxxy]

Lovells 45mm front and 50mm rear lift - ARB Deluxe winch bar (no winch) & dual batteries. No old measurments

Front 785mm
Rear 830mm (pretty much empty)

As it sits now, the rear sits about 10mm higher than the front (measurements from chassis to ground) With a full tank and a load in the rear it sits nice and level.

I am a bit concerned after reading the previous measurements provided by others varying between 790mm & 810mm up front, that I can't help but feel short changed. Oh well s**t happens

Having fitted the Bash Plate and ARB Bullbar I have retaken the suspension figures:

Front Left was 735 mm, now 720 mm
Front Right was 730 mm, now 720 mm
Rear Left was 770 mm, now 765 mm
Rear Right was 770 mm, now 765 mm

So, lost 10 - 15 mm on the front and 5 mm on the rear.

Previous figures were with Dual Battery and DIY Drawers. Both with approx 50 litres of fuel.

Is the front sitting higher than the rear now?

I would be a bit concerned about 824 in the front. It might also look unusual too as isn't there meant to be about a 20mm height difference from front to back?

Before (720 mm Front, 760 mm Rear)

After (800 mm Front, 810 mm Rear)

geez trekrider it came up 80mm in the front, must have been as low as my vt commordore, good to see a little lift under the old girl. cheers samo

I was surprised how much it came up Samo. OME said 25mm from Standard - I thought it was low but not that low.

Standard is about 750mm front and around 780mm rear. You got yourself the full 50mm or 2inch lift at the front and at least 30mm at the rear.

Mate that's tall!

C'mon share - how'd you achieve these heights? Im assuming spacers and diff drop up front and big spacers in the back...
Looking forward to seeing some action shots Mate.
