Center of Hub/ Fender Measurement

[Black Rhino 13]

Front: 24.00"
Rear: 23.50"

+/- 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

This is with OME 3" Competition Coils 418/421. ARB front bumper, Warn M8000 winch, Slee sliders, Cruisin Offroad bumper with swingouts. Interior is partially stripped out and the full length roof rack is currently removed.

This seems to be about a 3" to 3.5" lift over new stock which is surprising considering all the extra weight. Old Man Emu Competition Coils are really great with E Load 255 KM2's. Caster is now below -1 deg and that's with the OEM caster bushings. Slee caster plates go on in a few days.

Edit: I put on Slee's caster plates and I'm now at +2.7* caster. My thoughts on all this suspension stuff are constantly evolving. I'm starting to think the MAF/4+ 2" drop brackets are a good idea especially if going up to 4"+. Obviously, that requires additional caster correction in the front via bushings/plates.

Just installed OME 850/864's 200 miles ago:
Front = 22.25"
Rear = 23.75"
ASS END IS SKY HIGH......At 320 in/lbs, I would need to add 480 lbs to the rear to make the 864's level out with the front. Not going to happen.

Weighed the vehicle as is:
Front = 3060 lbs
Rear = 3170 lbs
Total = 6230 lbs
Stock curb weight (HDJ80/A442F)= 4916 lbs
Total added weight = 1314 lbs
GVW = 6530 LBS

Anyone know if curb weight is measured with a full tank?

300 LBS UNDER GVW. Not too bad..... Need to fix the stink bug though.

Unimpressed with the body roll as is. Maybe try the Comp 418's up front?

I can't believe more people aren't using the 418's!

[hawker7]

Slee 4" Standard Weight Springs
Front 24" Center Hub to Flair
Rear 24 1/2 Center Hub to Flair

Stock Bumpers, no rear seat

Ride is really good. Stiff but not harsh at all.

My truck keeps growing so here's an update.

850J in front + 1" steel spacers = 24-1/4"
863 in rear = 24"

I have constantly "fiddled" with lift height during the four years I've owned the truck. After recently going to 37's I was using spacers on shorter springs and wasn't thrilled. I recently swapped my springs for J's and ended up buying regular 863's for the rear. 24" is perfect for stuffing the 37's without the truck sitting higher than need be. I have finally "arrived".

^^. Now where are you at to bottom of fender lip?

 

[Delancy]

Anyone have an advertised 4" lift center of hub to metal fender dimension?

I have the TJM 4". It was 25.5 front and 25" rear without armor. Haven't measured since getting bumpers, etc

Curious to see some of the new suspension setup specs...

 

[GW Nugget]

Gee, 7K is not loaded?

Mine is a 75mm Intermediate Slinky lightly loaded 24" +- .25" on all corners. This includes the 1" body lift. This pic has about 200# is back.

Just measured my recently resurrected 80 with 2.5" OME Slee lift. Nothing in the truck, no spare, no bolt on stuff. 50k miles on lift kit.

21.5 front
24 rear

Does that seem out of whack?

 

[blahblahblah]

Alright, bringing this thread back again! I came on here to check my numbers and figured I might as well contribute....

Ironman 4" lift. Installed about 4 years ago. I've got the yellow coils, but the current green coils have the same part numbers.

4x4 labs bumpers front and rear. Warn Zeon 12k, sliders, belly pan.

front - TOY012C coils - 23.5"
rear - TOY013C coils - 24"
