I had considered mounting the spare wheel to the lower front bumper to complete the roller skate look, this could also add weight the front, a far cheaper option than your suggestions Mr LYTNING. :roll:

Do you know what the before suspension measurements were? And then of course what they are now. Would be interesting to know the front/rear height increase and the difference between them.

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

Rear went from 775ish mm to 840ish mm 65mm
Front from 755ish mm to 825ish mm 70mm

I have taken the larger diameter wheels into account for these measurements but the size of the bead part of the rim might vary.

Hopefully will settle a little more over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the info....GUV (Where the hell is the stick poke emoticon?)

I don't reckon the front will settle that much all by itself, maybe 10mm, but I'm happy to be corrected. Regardless it looks sh1t hot and will help get up off the sand.

I'm sure GUV will fill you in, but from memory, these were 285's on 20" rims.:shock:

Thanks Robert, I'm now looking forward to the next outing even more, which LYTNING could be helping out with.
Geerpike1 the wheels do have 285 50 20 on them as LYTNING pointed out, the offset is +18 and the front tyres just touch on the plastic at the top of the mudflap were others have reshaped with a heat gun, I hope that this helps a little. There is another shorty on here that I think has the wheels and tyres that you're getting, if I find more info I'll PM you.

Oh look, it's only taken me 2 and a half years to become a Junior member. :-)

Guv, Looking great. Lift kit makes the difference and me jealous. What roof rack have you got fitted?

SOL.

G'day Sol
The rack is the smallest Rhino pioneer platform, they don't have a specific platform for the shorty, I just used some logic as to where to place the legs on the roof rails.

Thanks GUV;
The shorty here is from XHILER8 but he has a 4" lift and yes he had the same rims.

Nice one GUV.
What is the model/part number for the rhino platform? Did you put it on top of the cross bars? From the pics - I didn't think so though, and looks very close to rail.
Lastly , what is the overall height of the shorty now?

The Platform part# is 44100B it comes with cross bars that fit neatly inside the perimeter of the platform.
The height is close to 2,045mm at the back of the rack.
PM me with your email address if you want some closer photo's and I'll edit this post later with the accurate height.
Edited height.

The height is close to 2,100mm at the back of the rack from memory but that might have changed with the settling of the new coils, PM me with your email address if you want some closer photo's and I'll edit this post later with the accurate height.

Interesting. My truck with Rhino Pioneer tray is 2095mm high at the highest point (rear), and yet you have a Platform and are about the same height as me. My tray is 115mm deep. We both appear to have about the same suspension lift, so your 20" rims would account for some of the increase probably ??
