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

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.

My GUIV sits perfectly centred on 3" lifted coils and standard panards. Within 5mm at ride height. The adjustable panards are there to centre ride height. I had adjustable a to go on it but did not fit them as it sat right. Been on these coils for 5 years now and still sits perfect

35's is always illegal unless engineered

You can't get 35s Engineered unfortunately. Damn it!

No one can answer my question...Benny????

Mark I fit 35s under the GUIV with ease. I will be running the 35s again for the Simpson trip because they are the Best tyres I have. I will have no clearance issues.

Yoohoo............ I am over here ???????

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???

Because some will argue that the 4" shock will fit fine and given it's longer will allow for longer downward travel on articulation therefore providing better flex. The drawback though is the potential for the shock to be too long at ride height and you have a restricted or shortened compression as the compressed length is longer and it could bottom out within the travel of the spring. This is why they also talk about increasing the bump stops to limit that compression because your shocks are too long

I woudnt recommend progressive rate coil like the SS flexy, they have their place, not for an all round tourer IMO
You can put as big a shock as you want as long as it is set up right.

Thanks Darren, that wasn't so hard now was it.... Mudski shut and buy stuff!!!!!!!!!!

No one can answer my question...Benny????

What question?

[mudski]

Mudski shut and buy stuff!!!!!!!!!!

No you!!! Its alright for you! Your truck is set. Mine ain't.
O.k as this will be my daily right I think I need to go 3inch??? Everyone agree? Yes? Rememnber I don't want to end up a paraplegic from hard as rock suspension
1. I have been quoted on 3inch Dobinsons and also Tough Dog. $140 price between the two, TD's being the dearer. Is it worth the extra coin?
2. The shockersI have been quoted on are Tough dogs again 41mm bore and 45mm Adjustables. I am leaning towards the 45mm ones. These are 4inch too. Will these work???
3. Drop boxes I will definitely get
4. Front and rear panhards I will get. I don't have the time to get caught out. I have basically less than five days to get this stuff and fit it.
5. Longer rear lower control arms I will get. Same as above...
6. Should I look at upper control arms?
