2" lift the same on GQ & GU????

**growler2058** · 29th September 2014, 08:09 PM

I remember reading one of AB's posts that there is a difference in height of a 2" GU and GQ lift. A 2" GU is a 3" on a GQ is this right. I cant bloody find the original post/thread on this.

You could really heavy 2 inch gu springs in and it could lift it 3 inch, it is all a matter of spring rate.

But remember the GU is a heavier car, so if you put GU springs in a GQ it will be a harsher ride.
I have 2" GU springs in my GQ and it does not flex well but drives brilliantly on road. Would not have wanted anything else on the Simmo trip

You have a fancy gu now so why the question?

Because some companies say suit GQ and GU so if there is a difference I don't wanna get a 2" kit and its only bloody 1" if you know what imean

Mine flexes ok but I have quite a lot of weight on board. Winnie, once you get the rear bar and including your drawers you'll find it'll start to perform better.
Growler, I have a very similar setup to Winnie but I have the Kaymar on the back and a steel drawer system with a heap of stuff permanently in there and my 2 inch GU lift sits at about 2.5 inches on the GQ

I only took the front sway bar out after the simmo too, always had it in before that.

I think Drew means your Raslar bar

. . . You'll save some weight with the quarter chop tho!!

I know what he meant I'm just saying it should make a big difference.

Fair enough!! Yeah reckon it wouldn't make too much difference, there wouldn't be to much between them.
