GQ sagging front springs

G,day all
I inherited my Dads 93 diesel GQ earlier this year and the front springs are sagging, its running 15 inch wheels with a distance at the rear of 385mm from the top of the rim to the mudgaurd arch, the front is 335mm, 50mm difference. looks like standard stuff up front (not 100%sure), at the back though it has old man emu nitro charger N29 shocks and red springs with a sticker that has the numbers 7753L on them.

any measurements that anyone could share sure would be helpfull

the good thing is im really starting to enjoy driving this old girl:D

you inherited a great beast mate, it is more than likely the arse end sagged out & he beefed it up a little, I dont know the spec for hieghts but they are on here, if immediately concerned measure the alloy step front & rear, as long as the front is level or slightly lower then nothing to worry about, a simple 2" lift & it will go most places you could want

Thanks for the heads up Morton, he used to tow a van all over the top end so im guessing the rear end is heavy duty, ride is very comfortable though, (as the sailer said to the prostitute)

makes sense for towing a van

could also be softer than required springs in the front as per the piccie a bar and winch on the front means a higher loaded spring to compensate for the extra weight on the front of the vehicle, than if no bar/winch were installed, if is old gear and u buy new make sure u r sold the right load rating or will sit too low and sag quickly

You have a raised rear springs by pedders you might just try matching fronts to level it out.
