guys
ive got a set of 35s on 15x10s i want to run on my gq
question is, can i get away with 4in coils and a bit of trimming
or will will i have to fit 6in coils to avoid the scrub ?

can get away with 4 inch coils with guard trimming.
since you're running 15x10s make sure the offsets to suit or you'll have serious rubbing issues.
Ive heard people running 3 inch lift with 36's (ask bogged about this)
I run 36's with 5 inch and 40mm body. (same as JK's (dirtpigs) setup) and looks to be heaps of room in there. Could easily fit 38s in there

i know someone running 36x12.5 pedes on a 4" suspension SWB Mav, so they should fit, dont know about how much he cut the guards though. Also they were on beadlocks so maybe they were on something like a 8" rim converted to 9"

I have 35x15 x-terrains on 8" rims with 2"body lift and 4" dobinson springs with no rubbing at all, I have removed the standard flares and no sway bars, even at full up travel no rubbing.

I have 35"MT/R's with std hieght coils and a 50mm BL and they only rub on the usuall place on the inner guard. Have trimmed fron and rear of guards a little though.

cool,
ive got some spacers for the front control arms (the big balls type) that will move my front axle forward a bit. dont want to fit a body lift this time round and would prefer to stick with a 4in coil,
thanks for the feedback
what about panhards ?
will i need adjustables/lengthened with 4in coils ?

Panhards - some people say you need them,others say they have 6in lifts without anything.. would love to see it...
mine when lowered from 6 to 4 was way out of align..
Quick answer, call sandy or cheezy.. all answers in 1 call..

lowering from 6 to 4 has a greater lateral change than going from 0-4.
cuting your guards fixes all. i run 39's on 10's with a 8"+ but they never scrub on the body as i have cut the b'jesus outa the guards. imo if you cut a little you might as well cut a lot as you lose the plastic inner guard either way.
cheers bru
4 inch

how wide are the 35s you are all running? i told a work shop that i was putting in a 4" lift into my GQ, then asked what size tyre could i run? his reply was 35x10.5 no probs, which is what i figured.

12mm spacer on control arms fixes that... recenters the wheel in the arch
