I guess you've got a good point there. With my front bar and nothing on the back I'm going to have the rear in the air even with the suspension upgraded. Got to wonder how most of these "2" kits" fare with a bullbar.Merts wrote:the rear was sitting about 45mm higher than factory.

Thanks for your input in the thread Brendan. Although I do worry about the rumors of shuddering with the rear too high in the air. Might have to go for a lower lift? 30-40mm over stock?ultimate wrote:It's a legal and practical requirement to maintain the factory rake

I'd guess either your bar is significantly lighter or it will settle a bit lower after some driving... I did my 2nd measurement after about 1000km of when the bar went on.
BTW, I did forget I also fitted my bushskinz bash plates at the same time, although I doubt the difference in weight between the factory plates and aftermarket could be a patch on the weight of the bullbar!
Yeah that's the plan. I understand suspension pretty well from racing cars, but I'm not used to adding a heap of weight to the vehicle then compensating with suspension.Duck wrote:If you replace the springs replace the shocks as well

Fitting a tailshaft spacer or lowering the centre bearing will significantly reduce the vibration to a point where it's hardly noticeable on most vehicles. Limiting the suspension height doesn't always mean you will avoid the shudder. A lot of vehicle with 15-20mm lifts still develop it and need to do the same modifications to reduce it.
