So the the old GUrl is up for new suspension. Torn between 3 or 4inch.

You can fit 35s on a 2 inch lift with a GU. A mate has a 4 inch GU with 33s and it looks stupid.

Personally I like a 3 inch lift on a GU with 35's...

Why did Simon (ARB) insist on me getting 4 inch shocks to go with a 3 inch lift???

[threedogs]

engineered will see you legal wouldn't it, still think 3" flexi coils would be the go.
, not a fan of going too far away from OE just more things to go wrong
Going 35" is illegal anyway isn't it

[lucus30]

35's is always illegal unless engineered

But you have the extra lift with the thicker spring pads. If you didn't i would see the longer shocks bottoming out, but giving you longer travel... Can someone please confirm this?
I fail to see how getting an engineers cert for 35's will make it right though...
Where the best place for flexi coils? They are dearer but might be the better choice.

Flexy coils are really designed for weight. They are a progressive spring.
Lineal rate coils are the way to go

I also dont understand how 3 inch lift and standard panards can be ok... every 3 inch lift I have seen and even installed without changing the the panhards there is a visible difference in the location of the diffs side to side.

I swear by Panhards on a 3 inch lift... when we had my car on the hoist everything was hitting until I fitted adjustable panhards..

Ben. I do tow a heavy camper too. But not all the time obviously. My shagged 2inch lift doesn't move when I hook the trailer up aswell. So you wouldn't recommend flexi coils? I think 3inch will be the way to go. If I need to get panhards etc etc then so be it.
I have been quote on Dobinsons 3inch coils and 4inch Tough Dog shocks, both 41mm bore and the adjustable 45mm bore. Do I still go the 4inch shock?

[mudski]

there is a big difference between a 3" and a 4" lift Mark. My GQ runs standard length lowers and adjustable uppers to realign the pinion angle of the rear diffll..

I am confused on this. I have seen they sell longer lower arms, to tilt the pinion angle up. But you have the opposite. So the upper arms would need to be shorter yes?

I might ring ARB tomorrow to see how much they would sting me on a 3inch OME kit. I'm tipping its going to be a lot but I need to know. As I don't want to be riding a brick too.
