Derrrrrrrr, don't you know anything?, Big lift with coil spacers and Nolathane offset castor bushes is where it's at!
As the old saying goes.
'If it isn't trying to kill you above 40km/h it's isn't farken good enough.

Mate its a fourby it's supposed to handle like a pig

Welcome to the world of a suspension setup that is beyond entry level/amature hour.

Nope I'm saying that things like castor correction on big lift (over 2-3 inch) is entry level crap, with the only benifit being ground clearance
Putting something descent in, will have some sort of benifit across the board.

This trip tomorrow will tell me more!!!

Really........ bump stops should have been done a long time ago.

If george has a 2 post hoist it will be much easier.

Remove the shocks and take an extended and collapsed measurement of the shock. Remove the springs.

Lower the hoist and drop it onto the bump stops, take a measurement between the shock mounts and compare them to the collapsed length of the shock and make up the difference. Its always good to set the bump stops with about 10mm to spare on the shock as a bit of a safety buffer.

Yeah been meaning to update this but have been a bit busy...

Picked up new endless air system and want to do a write up on the install.

It looks for sure I have to install the engine before brindabella so will try and fit it all up at the same time...

So much to do and so little time. .. I am also plastering the lounge room and I hate it with a passion .
