Talking Finally WH Lifted 5 Inches

So I finally lifted my WH 5" yesterday. Stoked!!







Front:
- Bilstein 4600 series struts
- Rocky Road Offroad 2" strut spacers
- HeavyMetal 3" strut fork clevis
- Commander springs (to accomodate the Saguaro bar to be fitted soon)
- Rocky Road Offroad upper control arms with Moog ball joints
- New factory swaybar bushes (reused factory swaybar to limit front travel until I sort out some nigglies)

Rear:
- Superlift control arm brackets and track bar brackets (to reuse stock track bar)
- Superlift lower control arms
- CRDSTU custom upper control arms with Currie Johnny joints
- CRDSTU 3" HD King Springs
- 2" Daystar rubber pucks
- Procomp shocks
- Extended bump stops
- Brake line brackets
- Removed swaybar until I get new links to suit

Hub centre to guard:

Front 630mm
Rear 600mm

Those on it are 31" tyres, planning to get 33s. So that's another 2 inches of lift

How does it drive??? Well, considering I raised the COG by heaps, can feel body roll. Maybe once fatter tyres come on and 1.5" wheel spacers to the rear (already got them on the front), plus once I get the rear swaybar links, should improve considerably.

Tyre size won't change a Hub to Guard measurement. But yeah, bloody hell.....................in QLD there would be Mauve flashing lights running down the highway after you Briteway, not to mention the Blue ones.

I'm at 565 front and 580 rear and thought that was close to the "critical" numbers of 22.5" lift height, keen to see how this goes as I'd like to lift some more!
