Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm after the above for a 85 diesel... Ideas anyone.

call arb, or tjm, or 4wd systems or just about any 4wd shop around you
they will be able to point you in the right direction

Wizard Performance on the Gold Coast does a 4 and 6 inch lift for a 60 I think.

Dont know if they do a 4 inch, but a guy I know has a pretty decent lift in his 60 and it is Old Man Emu. Works really well

Cheers

My 60 had about 4" of lift with Ultimate springs and Gabriel shocks. Without swaybars, the 33s still rubbed on the inner guards at the rear and just touched the bolts on the inner at the front at full travel . A body lift would have helped the front, but not the rear.

I can't remember the model no. (it was 10 years ago!). The springs were about mid range, with a helper leaf in the rear. The front carried an ARB bar and 8274 Warn

What backspacing were you running on the wheels? I ran OME 2.5" springs on my 60 with a 1.75" body lift and I ran 35s. I did get a slight occasional rub in the rear but they were 35s. 3.5" backspacing is what the stock wheels were. If you push them out to 3.25" or 3.00" you definitely won't hit the inner fender skirt. If you are running 3.75" or more backspacing you can pretty much lift it as much as you want and it will rub.

For a six inch lift do a spring over, 60,s tend to be top heavy
but if you run wheel spacers or 2'' back space rims it helps
Mine works well Just dont drive on the hwy without the front swaybar
I did mine my self and it cost less than $500 to do the basic SOA.
The steering costs to do it properly(Snake racing hy steer)

Suspension lift?

Bodylift?

Or both?

Spring over gives 6'' lift on standard springs the flater the spring
the better a SOA works. you don't need a body lift, It would make
the whole thing to high (note Dangerus) I have 35'' tires on it and they
look small. I could fit 37'' with ease. But without widening the axles
with wheel spacers,10'' / 2''back space rims ect, 6'' is high enough.
It gives 600mm clearance under the rails approx.

Sorry 60serius, I was actually askin MQ080 what he was after.

I found that a 2" bodylift and a 2.5" susp lift works well.

easy and expensive = spring lift (aftermarket kits = $$$$)

slight effort/a bit of thought and stacks more effective = SOA



but if all you are after advice on is a 4" spring lift, I would say stear clear of OME and TJM, and spend the dollars on companies that actually market their kits as 4" kits, and have decent length shocks to match. If you are gunna spend the dollas, make it worthwhile.

in sydney, ring the shops.... not the arb stores, but the other ones.... the ones in the mags... you know.... mac4x4, overkill etc. They can all supply several brands of kits, and can advise on the best springs/shocks at the best price at the time

It wasn't for me, but a friend. Thanks for the ideas everyone... we ended up for a 2" suspension and 2" body and the 35's fit under there quite nicely.
