Only have the the basics and this was in Sept 2002 -- so things may have changed.
• 75mm body lift
• 100mm suspension lift
• Rancho 9000 shocks with in-car controls

AnthonyP,
from the pics you posted Wild Violet has indeed undergone change -- new rubber is obvious.
When I got the specs back in '02, WV was running 35” Simex Centipedes
with Maxidrive diff locks front and rear.

Noice.
Funny how the rear over hang doesn't look like that much of a problem when you a running that sort of lift and tyre combo.
Stunned by how much the axle is moving forward on WV under articulation - rear steer big time.
Must have some good high spring rates - with my rates and that lift I would spend most of my time lying down...

Due to the huge body lift it looks alot lower (flexier) than it is, BUT STILL

No excuses now Bodge, stick in that set of springs I gave you that will tighten up your sloppy rear end...
