It was an early start and bloody cold, however it was a good day. So we got into it and installed another great lift from CRDSTU. Pedders had some trouble getting the front assembly sorted but 2.5hr later we were good to go














What happened Ed tried you on the phone a few times today but no go, hope your OK mate.

Lol Chris you beat to me the post... had a heap to do last night wheni got home and didn't get around to measuring until this morning

thanks to Stu for all his advice... everything’s looking pretty darn good.
Thanks ED for the moral support haha <he knows what i mean>

and lastly thanks to CD for his help in putting the kit in... couldn't have done it without you mate!


Parts fitted
OME Shocks
CRDSTU Springs
CRDSTU strut top plate

Still need to fit bump-stops

alright measurements

Bottom of Rim Measurements – I find this more predictable than centre cap
BEFORE
FL 674mm FR 674mm
RL 678mm RR 680mm

AFTER
FL 760mm FR 760mm
RL 765mm RR 775mm

Centre Cap measurements as that’s what’s typically used (subtracted 215mm radius of the wheel)
BEFORE
FL 459mm FR 549mm
RL 463mm RR 465mm
AFTER
FL 545mm FR 545mm
RL 553mm RR 560mm

it works out to be around 100mm lift... part of this is thanks to my "lowered" stance on 90k OEM springs/shocks...
i just can't be happier...
Just need to wait and see if the rear settles before I worry about the difference.
And Pictures of some flex and some seriously old street slicks

Man it was a long way up... hope every likes this one it really shows off the flex - oh and my reasonably large arse!

Ahh lovely, just lovely

It will feel like a different beat again with come larger rubber on. Those stock thin walled tyres combined with no wheel alignment do add up to a strange handling characteristic, pls get it aligned asap!!

Looking great guys.

Regards
Stu
