Yeah, sure. 4inch springs, 15mm coil spacers in rear, 2inch bodylift, 5degree castor plates. Procomp ES9000 shocks. Rears measure around 750mm extended, springs only just stay in! The bushes are a bit worn in the front so that's why it probably flexes as well as it does.

Good luck with the GQ hunt

lets try lower traiing arms just over a meter long and an a frame with a dobbins joint in the centre, the only things limiting travel in the rear are the shocks, and the length the coils can stretch too,
the shocks are the llongest rancho i could get, which are about 950mm extended,

You have 800mm of travel thats 32 inchs of travel how long are your shocks 2metres long you must have them mounted to the roof how do you keep your 4 inch coils in considering they are not even 800mm long un loaded they would be about 300mm out of their seats at full drop

just because you shock is 800 long doesnt mean you have 800 travel.
mine are 960 long and i can get about 500mm of travel.
to get 800mm of travel your shock would have to be about 1500 long. and buggered if i kno how much lift ud need :P

ps i got 7 inch coils and mine are just captive at full droop

No one can keep the springs in in a GQ. I had to retain my 7" springs in the rear as they fell out at full droop. Fix your springs top and bottom rather than fitting coil spacers as you'll need to adjust everything like panhards, drag links, pinion angles etc. Another advantage of having your springs retained is you'll increase your stability when you are on those sphincter puckering angles. The weight of that diff and wheel could be the difference between a roll and a close call.
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.
