Installed DBOR rear gas strut and finally got the PP high steer drag link in. Steering is once again sharp as a tack.

I installed Suspension Stuff Ultra Flexy springs today.

They have netted me the 2" lift I was looking for with a spring that does not drop out of the perches with a long travel shock. They are also a progressive coil - they ride very smooth (soft, no jarring about). They remind alot of the Poly performance springs actually...Except they're better suited to those who are wanting a lift which will measure up as legal on the side of the road (No ill intent intended PPM or DBOR, facts is facts/simply the way it rolls in QLD).

Also fitted adjustable PPM upper arms in the front. I need to buy new bolts for them, using the stock bolts is no good as they're simply too small and there is too much potential movement. I will advise correct bolt size to use with these soon.

May not fit PPM lowers in the front and rear yet. The geometry at this lift is barely altered from stock. Pinion angles all fine, coil angles all fine etc. Feels good!!


Now just waiting on Bilstein shocks to arrive...

Hey Yom,

Are they the Dobinson springs suspension stuff have on their website?

https://www.suspensionstuff.com.au/s...0a3900baf40304

How does the car sit, is it all level? (you have the CRD?) Do you have the measurements for each corner from flare lip to centre of wheel (or top of 16"/17" rim?) I'm keen for a change from the MOPAR springs and am after a 2"-3" lift with lots of downtravel, without the springs coming unseated. (I've got a Diesel Manual Shorty with Mopar steel front bar) Will be interesting to see if it sags at all?

Please Post pics

Ben.
