Spacer vs warranty

[Mattfunk 120]

Yeah that sounds right. Is original height 750 front and 780 back?

Hey Blake, just wondering where you found these measurements for future reference please.
Thanks Matt

Is this considered "fixed" now as far as ARB are concerned?

Yes it is. The guy I spoke to at QLD head office said that because I had exceed the quoted lift of 25mm front & 40mm rear before spacer was installed that they have fulfilled their requirements & I actually had more lift. He was referring to my heights on the day of install before lift not as AJ said the standard ride height, which makes sense now. Kings wouldn't make springs for a car with 50mm sag and 20mm sag. I guess I wasn't very informed when I ordered the lift and didn't know the right questions to ask. It seems strange though that you can be sol a kit without anyone looking at your vehicles current height..
These were my ride heights

I notice a "trim packer" if required, which I guess is the strut spacer Matt ended up with.

Cheers Andrew

Yes this was installed a year later when LHS had sagged. Rear coil free heights ok. Spring rate was assumed ok. Front not touched and 10mm spacer installed above RL coil

Yeah I guess it is. They didn't use one though.

Goodo. From memory mine is sitting at 785/820 so 10 higher in the front than what's advertised.

It's pretty comfy Matty. No problems, touch wood

Hi Blake how is your ride in the rear with no weight on the car. I believe I should have had the 885 coils in the front . You have a winch and still sits higher. I wonder how different stores choose different setups. Queensland manager is adamant that 885,s would give me way too much lift and even though the OME suspension selectee chooses 885s with my weight plus future winch , he says this is incorrect.

Yep, those should be original measurements.

That would be logical , height of brand new vehicle plus taking into consideration extra weight added equals min new lift height

No the original height should be interpreted as the height of a brand new vehicle. Otherwise there is no benchmark for comparison if the comparison is to the current height just before lift.

[Mattfunk 120]

I also would have thought that quoted lift should be above standard, not above what you had. My first 120 the suspension had sagged 50mm before I upgraded, based on a 25mm lift over that measurement I would have been below standard!



Cheers Andrew

I was just reading their fine print on OME lifts for the 120 and it reads that the quoted lifts of 25mm front and 40mm rear lift is above the original height so I guess they interpret original height as the height before lift, not standard height. If it was standard height maybe they would have wanted to look at what my current heights were before quoting me 2k to have this "correct" suspension installed. So yes of your front had sagged 50mm and was lifted 25mm as per quote this would be deemed ok as it was 25mm from original height .

can you swap the rear springs left to right and see what it does to the heights
i brought a s/hand set and they were not marked L or R, when i fitted them the rear looked odd, so i swapped them over and it did change it slightly
