rear bumpstop distance for 3 inch lifts
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 8:06 pm
hi,
I am trying to work out how my shorty is going to fit in the really low garage door at my new apartment.
Basically I have what I thought was a 4 inch lift.
The rear standard bumpstop gap is 175mm.
The total height of the rear of the car is 1980mm.
The lowest point of my new entry is 1940mm.
I don't want to lower the whole car to a 2inch lift but if a 3inch worked that would be good.
So depending on what people have experienced with heights I will either try a 3inch soft spring or go airbags in the rear so I can lower it when I need to.
The shorty only has a gas tank and tow bar in the back, no other extra weight normally. But I do load it up pretty good and will put back the ARB roof cage for when I go camping.
The positives of the right springs are cost and simplicity.
The positive of the bags is I might actually get a nice ride out of the thing and will be able to clear the garage easy.
Any help or experience would be much appreciated.
cheers.
