I also found it to be spot on for the front and 54mm to high for the rear!

As for extending the rebound distance (by longer shocks) I did read somewhere (but cant find it now) that bump and rebound are not to be altered. Means you really should only use stock shocks. LOL

Thaks for clarifying, and yes that's completely retarded in it self using a point that completely compress as a baseline, means travel figures are complete bs.....

Anyway as with most things QLD transport modification related anyone with a bit of logic behind them will end up dumbfounded by their rules...

Cheers,

And guess what... Jeep changed the length of the front bumpstops for 2010 models (just the foam bit). They are now longer than the earlier ones. Haha.

Setup sounds good, could you post a pic at some stage?
Any sagging since the lift & have you wheeled it much?
Does it rub?

And how much clearance from the front brakes do you have with the 16" rims? A pic of that would be great too!
