    Re: Suspension Measurements 2

    FRONT PASSENGER: 818mm
    FRONT DRIVER: 820mm
    How did they go with your wheel alignment?

    I have 805mm drivers side and 810mm on the passengers and have run out of adjustment on the passengers side.

    Paul (Pcm120) has the same issue with the same set up as me, same side too...

    We are just within alignment specs, just there's not more adjustment left.

      Re: Suspension Measurements 2

      Are you guys running the same kit?
      I spoke to Darren McRaigh when i got the kit off him to get wheel alignment specs and gave them to the boys at Tyrepower along with Darrens number because they didnt sound real confident with the lifted suspension.They did contact him to get conversions and told me the alignment was still inside spec,but the toe in of 2mm wasnt.I dont know how much adjustment is left in it though.

        No, we both run modified Old Man Emu. (not that that matters to the alignment... thats about the height)


        Paul and I both use different to factory spec alignment settings... with great results.

        my toe in is 0.5mm

        Camber: (left and right) 30" +

        Caster: (left and right) 1' 45" +

          alloy seats are sitting down over the circlip, not on it "
          alloy seat goes up nto the coil a bit ?

          If you run more than 800 mm, you WILL damage the front shocks.

          They need more droop than that. [70mm min]

                      Hey all,
                      just an update, remeasured lift again after a week and a half of driving.
                      Front passenger 805mm
                      Front drivers 810mm
                      Rear passenger 840mm
                      Rear driver 840mm
                      Spoke to Darren from Auto Craft after his comments above about damage to shocks running 818mm 820mm at front.We were both much happier that it had settled a bit.Will moniter over next month or two,should settle a bit more.
                      Very happy with the height and handling of the package,bit firmer in the ride but dont feel the bumps as much if that makes sense.
                      With the lift and Cooper STs its improved handling on road and transformed it off road!

                        Before and after measurements for 2" lift kit with Dobinson coils front and rear (rear coils are HD for 100-300kg constant load) and Lovells shocks and struts. My Prado is a 04 GX 3.0l TD with factory alloy b/bar on the front and strongarm dual spare wheel carrier on the back. I have also removed all the back seats and installed a false floor in their place. Had about 25l of fuel at time of measurements. Have only done about 100km with the kit so suspect it will drop a little once I do a few more kms.

                        Before
                        Average front measurement with factory alloy bar - 755mm
                        Averge rear mesurement with dual strongarm wheel carrier on the back - 770mm

                        After
                        Average front measurement with factory alloy bar - 815mm
                        Averge rear mesurement with dual strongarm wheel carrier on the back - 840mm

                        Corbo
                        04 TD GX, 2" Dobinson/Lovells lift, Strongarm dual wheel carrier, Sovereign b/bar, 17x7.5 Speedy Grande, MT ATZ(5 rib) 245/70R17, HD 4WD Couplertec system, Manta 3" exhaust, Safari snorkel, Polyair airbags, MAXTRAX, Unifilter, Redarc Dual batts, Narva Ultima 175 spotties, Cruise, Rola r/racks, DIY Boost gauge, rear false floor
