Hi Lio,
I'm aware of consequences of the lift - on my kzj95 I have a OME lift
with medium stiffness and it performs really well. But in the begging I
had some stability problems (nothing serious ....) which were solved
using wheel spacers.
But each car behaves differently and my opinion was that hdj80 should
allow more freedom regarding lift since its wheelbase is wider,
different construction etc...
The plan is to use primarily for for over landing which is in my
experience 60% tarmac - 40% off-road in terms of distance . I'm not
planning to put very stiff springs since I'm usually carrying stuff for
two people and additional fuel (I'm thinking about additional fuel tank
of 160 liters which will be used only occasionally).
regards,
Tomaz
