Height of front after a 1.5” dobinsons lift

[kuhyuan]

just installed a 1.5”. Dobinsons lift

The rear sits really tall.

Also can anyone give me some height measurements for the front and rear if possible.

My front end is currently at 24”. From center of the hub to fender.

Thanks

I'm usually between 19.5-20" Front (center hub to fender) and 20.5-21" Rear on my AHC-equipped LX in normal height.

The rule of thumb (generally accepted for the 100) is to have the front end 1” lower than the rear, as long as there is at least 50mm of front suspension droop (down travel). Making that happen by cranking the tbars, starts to produce some cascading effects and changes or decisions. These can include, having to reindex the tbars, adding different tbars (depending on adding front end weight usually an added bumper/winch).
Hope that helps, search for cranking tbars threads, there are a number of detailed threads to get you all the way done.

Oh, the rear height will likely settle a bit, after some miles. Just measure several times and do both sides.

Thank you

I did the droop measurement and tried to level out both sides.
The new torsion bars are very heavy and robust. The rear end is pretty tall right now. So may need to adjust torsion bars several times after it settles.

@cmck is correct 100% now the rear coils @kuhyuan probably running is the C59-167 which is 30mm lift with 100kgs of constant load, if there isn't any extra weight then it will essentially lift more. We have another rear coil option C59-169 which only lifts 10mm.

I do have the 169 coils that I ordered from mike.

I put close to 600lb of weight in the back to settle it.

It looks a little lower today. This is with the weights in the backView attachment 1646200

My OME lift with 860 rear coils is about 22" in front and 23" in rear with about 80lbs in rear and no third row seats... for reference.

Remeasure your front, 24” sounds like somethings not right with your measuring. Stock height on the front would be around 19” +\- .25~.50.

1.5” would put you at 20.5~21”

A more consistent measurement technique is lip of rim to edge of fenderwell.

are you running any steel bumpers? winch? when i was looking into the dobinsons they recommended i upgrade the front shocks that come with that 1.5inch kit to their "monster " shocks.

We don't make Monster shocks for this platform. What we probably recommended was IMS monotube shocks for the front, as our normal GS59-782 shock length suits the 1.5" lift but if you crank up the torsion bars to yield 2.5" lift in the front the shocks won't have any down travel that is why we recommend our longer version but only available in the IMS monotube.

IMS monotube? Is this a long travel dobinson shock for the LC100 IFS model? whats the part number for this?
