lift woes

[cmohr]

Hey glend , I think you have wonderiously covered everything there , the clevis lift is a good option, I actually have both ,top plates and clevis packers ,

If you don't have a arb bullbar on it , you will get more than enough lift from the coils ,the clevis lift doesn't take long if you don't have enough . If you are going high ,I highly recommend that you get als upper a-arms, that will solve alignment issues, and coil contact issues . With the extra lift, another thing folks have done to stop contact is open up the pockets for the upper control arms , by cutting the hole down you stop the arm from bottoming out on the body,.

Thanks mate I forgot about opening up those A-arm pivot pockets to stop them banging.

New ball joints upper and lowers, crdstu coils. Rides well front and rear sitting at 550mm hub centre to arch. Next step is some decent all terrains. After that some side steps so i can take it to 3" and my wife and son can Still get in.

Re side steps, don't get the cosmetic ones that will rip off if you graze a rock. Good rock rail side steps are the only option if doing serious offroad rock work. I bought a set of Rock Lizard Super Skinks ( out of production now i think) from cmohr years ago and they are serious heavy rails that bolt through the chassis rails and the pinch weld - you can use them as jack points. Rails can be steps if you simply put some non-slip boat deck tape on top of them - but my daughter ruined her stockings a few times on them so be aware they may not be well regarded by the females.
