More lift needed after fitting bumper
Hi All,after fittting my ARB bumper and winch the front of my vehicle had droped about an inch!! I have ORC +40mm springs all round.
I have fitted some 19mm mercedes rubber spacers but they crush to about 10mm and don't fit all that well and make the spring lean over a bit and sometime roll out.
So do i have some alloy spacers made up(does anybody already make them?) or do I fit 3" longer springs to the front and hope it makes it the equivalent to 2"?
Any other usefull idea's? :lol:
measure the back end from ground to under side of wheel arch/extension, then measure the front. work out the difference i,e if its an inch lower, then take the fronts off and measure them get 2 new front springs made. Let the guy know the difference in height, £50 a spring. Just adding and inch on a spring is not the answer, he will work it out for you allowing compression.
contact tony on Tony@tbaskil.co.uk and he will give you the guys details who makes them.
Hi All, would anyone know or like to guess how heavy a G wagen front axle is? would it be about 200kg?
Do you have one out? Take 3 bathroom scales, one under each end and the third under the pinion flange. The just add up...and please share your findings with us here.
Curious now :?
No not yet! :?
In order to order new springs I weighed the front of my G but need to take off the weight of the axle to give me the sprung weight need to be carried by the new springs.
