Can any one give info on 7" Coil Lift on GU

[bogged]

A big lift can limit atriculation as much as help it. There is more to getting a car to flex well and be usable that just sticking a 7 inch springs and shocks into.

Very good advice. You can get great artic from a proper setup 4inch lift compared to a shit setup 7in lift.

I just dont think any regularly used road going rigs would need a 7inch lift and 37's. specially just to out do your mate. Comp trucks, or trailer queens yea, I can see a reason.

Also love people saying shit like 'you wouldnt want to follow me wah wah wah..' A lot depends on the driver. I consider myself average driver, nothing flash, but did some of the harder tracks on weekend in my GU with 285's and 3inch lift (Ellis etc), no problems (fuck those tracks look different in the daytime compared to the night runs!).

Did many more round Toolangi many times in my GQ with 4inch lift, and 33's without a problem... But then, I do like a challenge, and having to pick a line up an obsticle, instead of foot to the floor and hang on and aim at obsticle.


anyway, sounds like dude is sold on his 7in lift.. Go for it. Buy the one that the dude removed would be your cheapest option

Thats it mate, at the end of the day its what you want go for it. I have a big lift to run big tyres. If you can drive what you want to drive on a smaller lift and smaller tyres then go for it. Its entirely up to you. I just like the advantage of a big lift.

Cheers, Simon.

This is coil lift and big tyres is not for trying to out do my mate. Was just a joke. Just a keen 4wdriver and keen to hit the big boys tracks. So I obviously want my rig set up as best as possible to help me do this. I never go half hearted. Who knows what lift I will go at this stage. Im sure it will come to me. Appreciate all the feed back. Thanks.[/quote]
