Height of 80 Series? saggy bits... :-(

Yeah, I have a feeling that I'm really saggy! I will eventually be carrying a bit of gear but I'm not at the moment. Thanks for the info Laura.

Yeah, that's my intention - to get it done soon! The truck's driving pretty much how you said. She's pretty wobbly! Geez, saggy and wobbly, but I still love her to death! :-S My god, glad my taste in the fiarer s*x is a lot better! haha!

Cheers for the info footy! ;-)
Scoey!

Geez so it would seem that I probably have up to 20mm sag in the front and anywhere up to 60mm sag in the rear!?!? Bringing it back up to standard height would be a decent lift!!! Might just go the 2" raised coils!

With the castor kit, if I go the 2" option, I was gonna lift, see how it drives etc then do the castors if required so we'll see how we go!

Thanks a lot for the measurements Alloy!! Much appreciated!
Scoey!

haha! Yeah it does Laura, cheers for the re-post! ;-)

Scoey!

Hey Jo,

Yeah I know, as per bloody usual, I couldn't make it. I kinda feel a bit pathetic bailing on all these gatherings too - I mean you wouldn't think it'd be that hard to get along to one of them, yet here we are! haha! I read the report from Trevor and it sounded like you all had a deadset ball and it looks as though we have quite a good little SE QLD contingent here! :-D Awesome! Glad to hear you and Mark got along, after your setback it would be good therapy to get out amongst it on the weekend! Hope all is well!

Cheers
Scoey! :-)

Hey Scoey!
It's ok mate.... there's always a next time, and a next time, and next time!!!!!!
Yeh it was good therapy to getaway after the hospitals carry on on the wednesday, he goes in tomorrow now, I have actually just rung the hospital and waiting for someone to ring me back so I can make sure they have got it right this time!
They better look out if we get all they way in there tomorrow and they screw things up again! I will not be the nice Jo that everyone knows me as!!!!
We had a great getaway on the weekend, unfortunately though some 4wding will have to wait just a bit as we need to get new shocks and springs and one of the bumper stops has fallen off(with age, was pretty had it). So will play safe and not do anymore driving until that is all replaced. Well and also that Mark isn't allowed to do any for a bit after surgery because of all the bumping around etc, can't do anything that may shock the kidneys and get them to start bleeding.
Will send an update tomorrow night when we get home from the hospital (hoping that they will let him come home the same day).
Chat soon... I have to get dinner started and get myself organised, I start work at 6 tonight, will finish at 5 tomorrow morning, Mate I will be stuffed cause I won't get any sleep at all after work! then take him into the hospital etc etc. So I will be computer zombie tomorrow night!!!!!
Chat later with you Ross!
Cheers
Jo

yeah exactly! ...and a next time, and the time after that! haha! Well here's hoping all goes well - best of luck.

Cheers
Ross.

Thanks for the info Greg - much appreciated. ALready running the 285/75's so I'm part the way there! :-D The only other concern I had over not correcting castor was abnormal wear on the tires? Any thoughts on this??
Thanks again!
Scoey!

Scoey, I have a GXL TD80 with 285/75/16 Cooper S/T's with the Old Man Emu 2" kit, damper & caster correction, drives great, corners unbelieveabley, fully loaded does not sag at all just handles even better, great clearance and have had no abnormal wear (Tyres are over 2 1/2 years old now around 60k KMs),as far as cars & acc go, 2nd best thing I have ever done, first was buying the 80 in the first place in '99.
hope this helps you out.....
