How much lift..

Post by M1S3RY »

I was wondering how much lift the rear of a Gen2 can take before the control arms are at their maximum? Mine currently has a 2" suspension lift and i was wondering whether i can get away with ~30mm coil spacers as well.

Is anyone running this setup and will i need to extend things like brake lines/hand break cable etc? Maybe a longer Panhard Rod too?
Just wondering wether it's worth it or not, mine seems (Well to me anyway) to bottom out too easily and the springs aren't that old either.

I'd only put longer springs in if you wanted to drive around downhill all the time.....

.......As you won't be able to adjust the front to match........

Much cheaper solution - Why not just get heavier springs if it is bottoming out?

I run 2" springs with 1" spacer as well, on my Gen 2 and have no dramas at all. Comfortable ride and you can hardly notice that the front is slightly higher than the rear.... she pretty much looks level with the front bump stops chopped and torsion bars cranked. I guess it is a 2.5" lift on front and 3" lift on rear. Looks and handles sweet i reckon!
