Def 110 Suspenion lift, how much can I go?

<< < (3/3)

Greenlanekit:
well I'm maybe looking at 90 rears on the front I thing that might solve thr prob with a winch . hmm

Eeyore:
Wolfie (probably readin' this somewhere) has got the 110 HD front springs on his and yes, they are indeed 90 rears. Comparing his front end (Warn 8000 + ARB bumper/roo bar) to another (Ramsey + winch bumper with Scorpion +1" +20%) - the ride height is identical. I'm running winchless but with +1" +20% on the front of mine and I've got more ride height than both of them - oddly enough by about 1"!.

I've gone +20% at both ends and she handles well, even when heavily loaded (although I've not got  roof rack). Given the option, I'd put the same on the racer too (also a 110).

Why lift a 110, I heard asked. Three words - ramp break over. T'was all the justification I needed!  :wink:

I've had no probs with my Scorpion springs, to date, but next time I would actually order springs to the same rating, but with less turns to reduce the potential of coil binding on total compression (which makes a horrible noise and doesn't do the springs any good, either).

HTH
