    Distance from hub to guard

    I would appreciate anyone with a GU (2002) with a 2 inch lift telling me the distance from the middle of the hub to the bottom of the guard.

    I appreciate the effort MB.
    I am at 560 front and rear...with Titan drawers in the rear.
    The current springs and shocks are old with no obvious markings so no idea what they could be.
    I am running 265/75/16 tyres.

    Sounds like a 2" then which could be sagging a bit with age.

    Too easy mate!
    These were RidePro's from Patrol Apart about 6 months ago. We put my old Koni 88s I think they are in it too.

    Does that mean I need new shocks, new springs or both?

    Not sure mate, not much of a mechanic me.
    560mm doesn't sound too bad, not much in it really. I'd say springs if anything, some good brand shocks can be redone too!

    It can wait a little longer given it's only about 20 mm.
    Thanks again for taking the time to measure MB.

    No probs!
    It's realistically probably only 10mm difference between us because our rear bags at 5psi do still push the arse end up that extra 10mm when no trailer is on.
