survey of actual lift (1 Viewer)

[semlin]

ok finally did the CSM (Christo standard measurement). Here goes:

1993, 130,000 miles
jobber shocks age unknown / coils appear to be original

CSM
front frame = 5", rear frame = 6.5"

flare measurement
front = 19", rear = 20"

nearly full tank of gas, ARB bar on front

This has been useful already as it looks like my front is sagging badly!

< I have a little spreasheet going as well.>

Christo, did you finish the spreasheet?

I don't know what was i either of these rigs at the time that I measured them except that I know the third rows were in place.
Measurements taken from ground to front frame rail... Nevermind.

They had different tire sizes. S&*t! I have a whole bunch of meaningless #'s!

I know for sure the LX450 is 2" exactly taller in the front with the light duty(851?) and 3.5" taller in the back with the med. duty(863).

Then when i went to J's I gained 1 inch in the back and 1.75" in front compared to the previous set of springs that I had on the 80 that are now on the LX450.

Hope that helps confuse things!

When I put OME heavies on I got 3 1/2" lift in front and 4" lift in back - that day anyway. Then I put Slee bumpers on with a 305/7-x16 MT/R spare, let it settle in a month, and got an even 2" front and rear.

C-dan, Don't you have a Slee rear bumper also?
