Hello everyone, as there seems to be, quite few suspension experts...posting my question here.
I own 97 LC80, with "unknown" lift from PO.
By the measurements and eye, it seems to be approx 2-2.5", since rear springs started to sag after adding drawers, bumpers, wheel carrier and spare, we added 1" spacers to the rear.
Meanwhile we also added Aux fuel tank, which obviously did not make things better.
Now I have a plan to swap it out, with some Dobinson's parts, but kind of hard to decide, what to go with.
What I am aiming at, is pretty much the same amount of lift (2.5" - 3"), without going crazy on swapping out everything underneath (I may do the panhards, if really needed).
From weight perspective, napkin math shows that without aux tank I already have almost ~200kg static load on the back, tank with fuel would probably net additional ~100kg.
In front there is an steel bumper and a winch.
Any suggestions?
I currently came up with this list, but...
