Fitted Fiery's Ironman suspension lift........

[sae70]

..........fitted Fiery's Ironman suspension lift yesterday In all it took about 3/4 hours with no dramas It all just went very well & was quicker & easier to fit IMHO than a Safari snorkel

Here's all of the pics that I managed to take

Oh & here's the measurements Now bear in mind that these were taken over two seperate days using my block paving as the flat level surface So not to British Standard then

NSF plus 44mm, OSF plus 58mm, NSR plus 53mm, OSR plus 62mm, centre front plus 52mm & centre rear plus 47mm

Looks as though ignoring block paving errors shes gone up about 50mm all round

Looks good for the lift Steven

Just needs some meaty tyres now to finish it off

Thank you

Absolutely bang on there Ecky

Will be calling my local tyre fitting centre first thing in the morning to order 5 of 255/85/16 BFG KM2 M/T's

Also toying with the idea of a set of 30mm wheel spacers from RoughTrax

nice to see some shiney new kit!
looks good - does it drive nicely too?

 

[Graham]

WOW, that looks great now.

I can't wait to see it with the new BFG KM2's fitted.

And after that, ?.
Well, I think you have just about covered all the relative easy jobs.
Just ride and enjoy it for now.

Steve. Order those spacers. With the 255s on it will look incredibly skinny. With the lift and no spacers it looks a bit tall an thin even with std tyres. The spacers give it a much better look and improve the turning circle. That looks the mutts nuts. Those tyre look awesome too. I may go that way evenally, but hapy with Cooper STs at present. Now try it all over again without the spring compressor tower.........

Wow, what an improvement. Can´t wait how it looks with 255/85s. Well done so far.

Sorry I didn't get around to answering you before now Andy To be truthful I'd only driven it for less than a mile before this morning so couldn't really judge But this morning had a good drive over to get the tyres fitted & it was interesting It's now notably more ridged than before but not offensive. The steering feels a lot more precise & positive & the extra height is making me think a lot more about my speed in corners & @ roundabouts I'm sure this will wear off though Overall it all feels very positive & I’m pleased with the result

There has to be some sort of photoshop / spot the difference opportunity here. Or a caption contest at least. Acknowledgment to Tony of course as current custodian of LB.

Now that is interesting. Out of interest Chris, are the wheels the same on LB as on Fiery? Looks to be more clearence above the wheels on LB, but that may be the body lift?

{Edit} and of course I meant the sizes....

 

[Chris]

Body lift Tony and of course OME suspension rather than Iron Man. LB wasn't load with all the extras then and sat right on the top of its springs. Body lift does add a bit more Grrrr.

Well done to Tony by the way for spotting the ACTUAL difference. The other one of course being the colour. Sheesh, you guys.......

[TonyP]

Well I can see a few more differences.... LB is cleaner... having said that that's the cleanest I have ever seen LB
