I did my 2" body lift a few weeks back and have now got my coils and shocks
Look at my glory boot
It stopped raining here for what I'm told was summer yesterday afternoon, so I rushed out and fitted them
It's all Pedders stuff as mainly the only reasonably priced stuff I could find in the UK. Went for longer shocks and heavy duty front coils to carry winch bumper and winch. The back end is stripped out and no load so ordinary version at the back. About 2" lift from stock was to be expected. My old springs were a bit sad so I actually gained 3"
Old n new back shocks
Old springs actually looked taller but under load behave differently , few
Back end in and done in an hour
While I was there the old ARB gubbins got binned too
The front end was a complete pain in the arse mind, the shocks were rust welded together !? Took a while with mini grinder to cut the buggers out. Got there in the end nearly 2 hours later.........
Also binned the front ARB stuff too. Took it for a spin to settle things in and then stuck the fork lift under the old girl to see how high it would go
About this high at the front before the wheels come off the ground
Did the same at the back and got about 31" under the tyre
I've got castor correction bushes to fit next but wondered about the bushes at the end of the hockey stick. Are there any better ones of those to help with the flex?
