3" IRO lift now nearly all installed - still have to adjust the length on the control arms and put the a-arm spacer in. The shakedown was at glasshouse mountains.


Think there should still be a fair bit more flex in it when i get everything sorted properly (and somewhere decent to flex - the 4" lifted patrol had a wheel in the air well before that point)

Agree...

What size from the rim up did you end up getting?

Cheers

well it's a bit of a mystery really as to what's going on....
(I measure from centre of hub to bottom of fender so that there's no difference between 16" and 17" rims - just add 8" or 8.5" to convert to base of rim method)
Front R/L: 510/525
Rear R/L: 515/535
Not as high as i would've liked, so i added some 10mm packers - different numbers in different spots so as to try and even it out
Now pretty level;
Front R/L: 535/530
Rear R/L: 545/540

The really wierd thing, is that these are the measurements with the swaybars disconnected;
Front R/L: 555/515
Rear R/L: 560/530

So basically, when the swaybars are connected, it's pulling the car down on the drivers side... wierd...
