Yeah, 4.5" bs.

They're a bit muddy now after glasshouse. Very pleased with performance, looks like I'm getting some rubbing on flares of rears at full flex though, time for some spacers methinks

Gave my 2013 its first taste of the bush. I recently bought it, and from how tidy it was underneath, I doubt the previous lady owner ever thought about going off road.
Took it down some fire trails in the southern highlands, even though it's still got the Dueler H/T pattern stock tyres, it happily waded through a few large mud puddles (most likely because the bottom was fairly firm) and a couple of streams....all up, gave my wife her first taste of 4WD track driving.
Nice way to spend the afternoon.

Default New lift is in

I finally have something worth adding to this thread. Well after installing my AEV front bar and Warn winch before Xmas I'd lost about 20mm in height from standard on my MY13 CRD. So over the long weekend I installed the following that had been in the garage for nearly a year:-
  • CRDSTU springs (JKFR-555 Drivers front, JKFR-540 passenger front, JKRE-475 drivers rear, JKRE460 passenger rear)
  • AEV drop bracket
  • Bilsteins
  • Rear trackbar bracket
  • Front JKS disconnects
  • OME bump stops all round
Thanks to the guys who correctly identified the steering stabiliser bracket. I'll get around to installing that next, most likely along with an adjustable front trackbar to recentre the front as I'm planning on staying on stock rims with 285/70/17s soonish.

I'm now measuring 595mm front and 615 rear from the wheel centre to bottom lip of guard. About where it should have been from the factory

Before

Half way and taking that factory rake stance to extreme....

After
