2/3" lift for GQ wagon

[benno]

Hi Guys & Girls,

How's it all going?? Just wondering what you guys reckon was a really good 2/3" lift for a GQ wagon, I've heard so many different stories I don't know what to believe. I've heard OME, Tough Dog, Iron Man, and many more, tell me a few stories guys.

Cheers Tony.

Mine is a GU and I have 2" lift with Dobinsons coils and Koni shocks. Very happy with the ride comfort on/off road and handling is great. Konis are highly recommended by me.
and of course tyre pressures play a big factor in ride comfort/handling

my GQ before having little screamin rug rats was..... 2inch body, 4 inch Dobinsons coils and Rancho shocks. Now its only got the 2inch body and the coils and shocks are living unhappy somewhere in the shed. I was very happy with the ride,comfort and handling on/off road.

I have 3" lift in my GQ and I love the ride. Dobinsons coils and pro comp long travel shocks. It is great off road and on road, but make sure you buy all the other extras. I didnt do it the first time but have learnt the hard way lol

Thanks guys, sounds as though you are all keen on Dobinsons coils and shocks, so they must be a good hard working system I take it, and what did you mean by all the other extras razzerback, also is a 2/3'' hard to fit yourself without a spring compreser???????

brake lines, steering columns, gear shift levers, fuel fillers, wiring, offset castor bushes, may need to modify bullbar / rear bar.......the list can go on and on...

ok this article is showing a toy.....ota, but you may find it helpful

im pretty sure i done my 3" without a spring compressor but it was that long ago...who knows.......but i dare say they would be a lot easier 2 install using one...

Hi NissPat, thanks for your help, are the Koni shocks full on off road.

Hi razzerback,Thanks for your help, I didn't think you needed much in the way of extras for a 2/3" lift on a GQ, pro comp shocks also sound interesting, are they also full on off road.
