In my venture to find my next 4 x 4, I notice that some of the Cruisers with IFS getting around the place seem to ride more level than others. I'm aware of the change to IFS 2002/2003 sometime so I've been specifically checking out the IFS models because the 2003 onward range is what I'm after.
So why do some appear to ride more level than others. Some seem to be really High in the back/low in the front end and others not...!
Thanks in advance.

04 td came off factory floor with a 50mm difference front to rear.
ie measurement from bottom of front guard to centre of front wheel hub was 500mm.
on rear measurement from bottom of guard to centre wheel hub was 550mm.
IN MY OPINION keep as close to this offset as possible.
i have used airbags in back(when heavily loaded) to try and maintain this.
ask lots of questions andd get others opinions before you play to much with heights as this is one vehicle where it is easy to significantly alter the handling characteristics for the worse.
typically most cruisers sag in the back.
something to think about anyway
cheers

Geelong Vic who has from what i hear set up some very good ifs 100 seies with excellent
suspension packages .
