So when I got my pride and joy 1 year ago it sat very high with a 2 inch lift.. peddars all round.

Now with draws fitted and I often tow it sits really low.. even the front seems to have sagged and at our last meet Darren was going to have a look to see what the best option would be but with all the driving and beer drinking there was no time to look at it???

I love the way Ab's car sits with a 2inch gu but he does not have all the extra gear I carry..

Whats the go... spacers, stiffer springs... air bags?????????

I will try and dig up before and after pics..

You need a slight down hill look to it, like when you look at all the 4x4 around you see one and
say that sits nice, plus it'll compensate for extra weight.
If you didnt factor in the drawers and towing before the coils went in
I'd suggest heavier springs or air bag assist

Put bigger springs , measure them up so you can straighten your ride out,
most 4x4 lean right, not all but most might only need 40mm longer on one side shocks, brakelines etc should be unaffected

Hmm so can you get a longer spring to straighten it out???

Springs and shocks or just springs in the rear..??

Are you at home tomorrow John..

Remember Andy runs GU 2" lift so its more like a 3 from memory.. Give Shane from Suspension Stuff a bell and have a chat with him and tell him what you have and he'll tell you exactly what you nee.

Got solicitors at 12 then taking MOF shopping so pretty well snookered Friday
You know how to check your shocks, Not old So ok IMO. I'll give you a hand when you do it.
I'll bring new fancy sitting, pointing chair, if Shocks U/S we can grab some from Coburg
I may have 2 x 2" coils here, I'll have a scout around.

You have compressor and battery and stuff sitting on the left side in the rear though correct?

Measure it up or go see your suspension guy easy to sort out, dont use spacers {ever}
