Have you warn Mitzy out already. Had to jump the fence eventually.

Hi Gavan,

I have a 105 which is fitted with 2 inch King springs and 285x75 tyres, but no winch. While my springs are supposed to be 2 inch, when I fitted them the car went up about 4 inches. However it has settled somewhat and I reckon the old springs were sagged in any case.

My tyres are higher profile than yours, but the measurement between tyre and front guard is only around 200 mm (8 inches). So your 10 inches makes it appear to be around an inch higher than mine when you take tyre difference into account. With the extra weight of your winch, it may well be a set of 4 inch springs...???

To even out the tyre difference though, I also measured from the rim to the guard, which came out at 385mm (just over 15 inches). If you check this on your vehicle you will be able to get a direct comparison of spring heights.

Also, generally speaking, anything over 2 to 3 inch lift will need castor correction of some description (usually offset bushes) to get the steering back to normal.

Hope this helps mate.

Cheers
Gerry

The correct way to take a measurement is from the bottom of the rim to the guard, takes away tyres variations.

Try calling a Tough Dog distributor ,like Malaga Suspension. They would know how much lift the springs will give approx.

Most of them advertise the amount of lift expected from a spring conservatively to allow for sagging

Hi Gavin,
I own a 98 mod 100 ser GXL live axle front,it has 275x70x16 Maxxis Tyres on it and alloy rims I have 170 or about 7" from the guard to the Tyre but I agree this is not very accurate so I will give you these as well 340 or 13.5'' from top rim to guard and 770 or 30.5'' from bottom of rim to guard and the good news is I'm also running tough dog springs and shocks and its a 2'' lift,Im hoping this is what you were after and also hope it helps ,Cheers :)
