    I've been trying to get DuroBumps to make a vehicle-specific set of dual durometer bumps for the 80 series - maybe this discussion will push him over the edge?

    1" forward looks perfect in that wheel well. :)

    well, stockish with more room, really. I'm with you, BTW - capitalize on what the factory engineered supsension does well, and lift the body an inch for more room for uptravel with larger diameter tires. (this also keeps the drivetrain/frame weight a bit lower than lifting the extra inch)

    ok, I hope this makes sense: first, here's the stock axle arc (at stock ride height, at the bump stop, and fully compressed - using the 1.5" data above). 298mm is the ground clearance to the bottom of the factory pivot mount on stock-sized (tiny) tires, btw... and here's the 50mm down/25mm...

    that's exactly what I was looking for - thanks.

    anyone know about how much the stock bumps compress?

    Just seeing this - I'll have my wife's 80 on the rack this weekend; I'll pull fresh measurements and work it up in CAD again to show the arcs and relative tire positions at full bump - which is my primary concern (aside from not increasing anti-dive.)

    To keep the retail prices reasonable, I have to order these in pairs in bulk - having specific quantities of each in inventory would drive the retail price up for everyone. Incidentally, my previous experience (I've been doing PCKs for the other models for a few years now) has been that only a...

    No need for the frame side bracket in that situation - toss it in the tool box (in case you need it later.)

    I biffed it when I put these on the website last week - I didn't add the order page to the item menu, so no one could get to the order page. :facepalm: I fixed it just this morning.

    I understood your argument. Your arms are extended to recenter the front axle at ride height for your lift height. I was actually mistaken with my previous post however - since your radius arm mounts are in the stock location, your setup will actually have more issues at full compression than...

    I don't think front fender trimming is a major deal for a lot of guys in this hobby. Also, I think your driveline extension & coil misalignment examples could stand to be re-thought - you yourself run a .75" extended length arm, after all, right? - your driveshaft is extended and your coils...

    Can't help on the welded part, but I did put 30mm forward positioning in my brackets for additional firewall clearance. With a 2" lift and 2.5" drop mounts you should be back to stock caster (and back down to stock anti-dive) - what's the issue there that needs further correction?

    are those a 3" drop? If so, would you be interested in trying some with a 50mm drop instead? (they'd be weld-on, though)

    I might be interested in those - any idea on price?

    I agree. in fact, I was thinking we should get DuroBumps in on this after you come to a conclusion on lift height vs. bump length - he can conjure up various durometers to decelerate the suspension over a certain range of travel to soften up the ride - and from what I've seen so far, it appears...

    they're WAY too big for that, though?

    same question, same leftovers (except I used one of the metal gaskets on the left on a coolant pipe)
