Suspension hieghts

<< < (2/2)

evang:
Scorpoin Racing are now consulting the people who make the springs!!!

robbie:
might be a silly question this, but did it sit straight before the lift kit was installed??

If you have any photographs that might show if the front dipped before. If it did, then the problem might not be the lift kit at all

just a thought

Range Rover Blues:
As a rule of thumb a run-in standard car should sit with the Panhard rod level, ie the unused axle bracket should be level with the chassis mounting bracket next to the steering drop arm.  You can determin the amount of lift by measuring the difference between the chassi bracket and the redundant axle bracket.

evang:
I have now checked the redundant panard rod axle bracket to the chassis mounting bracket and the chassis bracket was one inch higher suggesting the suspension was 1 inch lifted. Instead of 2 inches. This must be due to the wieght of all the kit on the front and Scorpion springs sagging(not winch rated!!!)

I have installed a Wizard 1inch spacer kit on the front and now the difference is two inches.  Yes indeed!!!

The Disco looks alot better but more importantly the DC Disco two front prop angle looks correct compared to others I have seen in photos. Within 3 degrees.

My only concernis the slider on the front prop now extends to far, which may cause vibrations caused by to much slider slip

To counter act this Wizard is going to make me a Propshaft Spacer as detailed on this site, Home page - workshop- suspension - propshaft spacer.

Cheers lads to all who replied.
