I know ben-e has said it before but long arms would be a good idea now you have moved to 37's. You have now increased the lever acting on your trailing arms when flexed. This will aid it in trying to drive under itself when climbing and flexing. Not to mention they will help keep those tyres planted much better.
Yeah long arms would be awesome mate, its really just a cash flow issue to be honest. Would like to swap out the springs foe a 3" spring and cut the guards some more. I want to remove some of the body lift too.Quote:

I was already thinking about dropping it down a bit when I did the new Superior Lift and ummmmmed and ahhhhed about it then. Perfect time then! But chose to stick with the 5" lift and gave them all my measurements including weigh bridge weights and hub to guard measurements for all four corners.Quote:

I then also decided to go with the GU diffs and needed to swap them out before the lift could be done.
The lift sat at 4WD Obsession for nearly 12 months waiting to be fitted. When it finally went in I gained another 2 bloody inches! Making what was already questionable now Very Bloody Big!!! Time killed me, if I'd been on t early I might have had a come back but it was over a year.
So options are to swap out the springs only if I can make the longer Amadas work with shorter springs and maybe take some of the BL out too.
Plenty of guys around now running 37s with a 2" lift and big guard chop. Most of the comp guys went from 2" lift to 5" lift and back to 2" lift and big guard chop for the win.
Many times......many, many times.. :p.Quote:
