    Axle articulation photos and measurements

    hi,

    thought it might be interesting if people posted some photos of their Patrol's axle articulation (I need to get out more!) and maybe some measurements to see what can be achieved with the different types of mods out there. I'll do some of mine for starters, nothing too special here, just a 2" lift and 2" longer shocks. I'm getting about 20cm difference across the front and 40cm at the rear (I moved up the gravel as far as possible until the wheels span, rear sway disconnect and front connected).

    Therefore I have ample evidence to convince the missus to release the funds for a front diff lock or some Superflex arms....I do don't I ??!! LOL

    Snake racing mega lift springs and shocks, 2Dextreme drop arms, rear sway bar connected with extended links, front sway bar removed. 30cm front travel, 1/2 metre rear travel measured from guard to wheel rim.





    The same suspension is fitted to my current GU but with drop boxes fitted and front sway bar connected.

    Mine - 4" dobinson coils, 3" EFS shocks - swaybars connected. Can't drop off the rear swaybar as the upper control arm hits the fuel tank, but tested with front disconnected and get about another 50-70mm in the front end. Sorta, kinda happy with it, but would love to get more as always ...







    Will have more from next weekend no doubt!!!
