Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I can get my hands on some 3" coils for a GQ for a good price (I think anyway) what else will I need to get to make this work. I'm guessing longer shocks, longer front brake lines, and castor adjusters.

Anything else or would it just be better to get a complete kit. I want to run a set of 33s

grimbo

I run 285/75/16's on my GU (have both BFG MT's and AT's) fit fine with 2" lift althogh signs of rubbing inner guards when fully articulated.. primarily one side - so maybe adjustable panhards would be a good idea with 3" of lift.

3" - just coils & shocks. Maybe castor bushes, drive it after it is lifted and see if you want to change the castor..

how about 2" body lift..they are easy on patrols!....if you are interested i have a couple of sets of 4" raised coils...about 2 months old, sell em for $150 for the 4

why so cheap?!
I might have to get them

they for a wagon or ute?

no,,,,you want to go higher 6" to 7" that is the go......soft more flex....

yeah I wanna go high alrighty .. 7" would be nice ..
$$$ permit
any one in QLD? know whats legal and whats not?

about 3" is legal, :(

:mad: :evil: *qld transport*

Dan just told me 1/3 of bump travel is the max height you can lift. He said he hasnt found out if that includeds shocks etc or if it from the shortest distance ie if u measure a patrol there is more travel in the rear..there for the bump reading is different to the front. The other thing he said is that that height (1/3) is from the factory to technically if its a few years old no body could know the exact amount. He searched case historys in QLD and hasnt found anyone that has taken it to task...so there you go...Bret

Try ebay theres some shocks and springs there cheap.

Nothing for my hilux though . bummed.

I did my 5 and a bit for about $1600 all up. included caster plates,adj panhards, break lines ect.



Dave

was that that fitted dave??

yep fitted all but the plates myself

nice

on my GQ i did 3" coils and shocks to suit n found my diffs were offset to far to one side so then i did adjustable panhard rods, n i have no need for castor correction it drives great but the front brake line is border line i just undid the clip that holds it to chasis and its all good now.

I did 3" and also ended up converting my panhards to adjustable.

I got castor bushes, next time I would get plates, but I definitely wouldn't do 3" lift without some kind of castor correction, personally.

I got one longer brake line as well, and longer swaybar links.

Got my coils, shocks, castor bushes, brake line and swaybar links off 4WD Stuff on this forum, seemed like good prices to me.

My plan was to fit them myself but I ended up getting my mechanic to do it... glad I did too because he had a bitch of a time.

In the end I went with a 3" lift and appropriate Dobinson shocks. Now I have the same 33s on my stock GU with no lift and sagged springs
