Default my grand is lifted
hi there

after having my lift kit sitting around for a month , i have finally gotten around to fitting it last night.
it took about 5 hours to do both the front and back and even with my very limited mechanical skills and my brother having to show me what to do every 5min, it wasn't to bad to fit.
now the car also sits more level as well.

Stock

front before lift - 820mm to under guard

front after lift - 910mm to under guard

back before lift - 860mm to under guard

back after lift - 900mm to under guard

Hmm, 820mm to 910mm in the front, that's 90mm or just over 3.5". Seems abit high for just a 2" lift kit. Are you getting any driveline vibration when in 4WD?

i had a drive up a few wet dirt roads last night and a drive through the wet paddocks today in low 4 and haven't noticed any funny noises.

and a couple more photos
the front end is just a fraction to low to get 3 cans under

the back end 3 cans just fit under


and the finished result

IFS doesnt usually suffer from vibes when lifted but you lose a lot of suspension droop, ie its taken up by extra lift.
