Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Now I got sum Qs
Can sumone with a stock range rover measure the distance between the bumpstops and diff for me and report back (in mm).
Mine at present are
Front - 160mm
Rear - 220mm

I cant flex the thing at the moment cause I need to retaing the front springs as they fall out straight away (since i grinded them down )
But even more to the point the tyres wont clear just yet. until i chop it it wont be set up for maximum flex.

The final setup will be;
4" spring lift or close to the current height
1" body lift and abit more hackin

Really gotta get of my arse and sort out this damn rear diff its still out to the passenger side a whole inch

Anyways just thought i would show you the junk as it is today

If I remeber correctly


Rear 70-75mm
Front 45-50mm

Michael.

hmm might look into getting sum 4" springs all round just not sure it will look back end heavy if i do that

you want the rear 25 mm higher than front.

Michael

why the hell would you go and fit these tyres when your shit aint even right...
surely you would want your rig setup correctly i.e. ride height, axle located correctly etc......

Get your POS riding right mate... what is the point of fitting the tyres if you cant wheel them...

Oh sorry forgot.... this is AnthonyP we talking about...
just plain Grimace

true dat!

Hey Anthony what diffs axles and CV are you running to turn those floaties I wouldn't worry about the springs to much you could just raise or lower the psi to level it out

how the heck do you get the rear diff 10mm over one way with a A-frame setup ????

how are the bush's on the A-frame?

As Das says

something wrong with bushes back there.

A frame keeps all central.

Michael.

A bent trailing arm mount?
My driver's side has split from the chassis rail and is bent 14mm forwards compared to the passenger side mount!

And no, i'm not driving it either! Waiting to get it cut and re-welded.

On another note Anthony, might be easier to extend the bump stops temporarily to stop rubbing on compression.
Should be pretty easy, just longer bolts and some rubber inbetween existing bump stop and the chassis rail.

Anthony, are both your rear wheels the same offset. I knew a bloke a few years ago that was driven crazy trying to work out why the r/h rear wheel protruded over 1'' more than the left on his Landey He said he took all sorts of measurements and was about to put the truck on a winch rack to bend the chassis, when I noticed he had different offset white spokers left to right. That was a lucky save.

Sigh,

If only they were legal

Looks great now you can get it sorted out .....

You mud runners will never understand

FARK YEAH w00t w00t

Like I said on AULRO it looks great, but not my cup of tea

I guess I'm a bit more conservative in tyre department, plus I don't have the patience or time with all the lift/clerance issues, but since you don't drive it daily (I drive Thomas daily, have no choice) you can spend time and try to get it right

Good luck with it.
