Anti roll bars
Iain C:
Honest opinions please people!
Winter approaches and I'm finally going to start getting the old girl dirty. At the moment, I have a full +2 lift all round, but as it's a 300 it has ARBs front and back. During some mild off roading one of the rears inverted and it was a pain to sort out.
Shall I just take the ARBs off? Or just the rear? Or will a 2" at the back spacer do the job? Bear in mind that the vehicle does get driven on road much more than off it!
HOWEVER, I have 265/75/16s and no arch cuts (although small camel cut happening very soon before I get it muddy!) I realise that the ARBs limit articulation a little bit (although I do have proper +2" Procomp shocks), is that actually a good thing to save mashed bodywork...so are spacers my best option?
ALSO, the only bit of the MM4x4 +2" kit I have not fitted is the extended brake hoses, mainly because I was going to change some slightly suspect brake pipes at the same time and I did not fancy bleeding my brakes twice. Am I better to just go for a cheapo bit of box section at the back to drop the ARB, as full articulation with no ARB could result in snapped hoses and crap brakes?
Thanks in advance...
Guardian.:
most people i know, including myself have removed all arb's,and with new suspension lift kit, drives ok on the road, probably wouldnt really notice them gone, but there is nothing wrong with packing them with a bit of box to match your suspension lift, however if you are going to do some serious mucking about, they do limit your articulation.
bilge rat:
took mine off me blue one mud tyres but std suspension me red one is totaly standard inc oil leaks but to drive not a great deal of difference, the other thing is think you'll find they didnt even fit them to all 200's. iff you decide to space them i think tow bar spacers are the same stud distance, alan...
