Ok guys just got my car back from the suspension fella. (Allset Springs)

And mate i couldnt be happier, got around 3.8" lift total. The kit i recommend is 25mm snake racing coil spacers, new struts and use the old coils! This provides the best lift for cheap! And it looks awesome! With all the stuffing around it cost me around $1000 that includes as above but with EFS rear shocks and extended shackles aswel!

Whoever wants a Lift like mine, just pm me and i will give the full specs of whats needed!

Nothing like 4" ahahaha

Front 605mm and rear 625mm So the front is very close to 4" its actually 95mm! But hey whats 5mm when talking about lifts hahaha.

I know what you mean about filling the gaps! They are massive gaps!

When standing on my Tiptoes trying to look over the bonnet i can just see over the top and im 6foot and 6 foot 1" with my work boots on! So that gives an idea how big it is! It sits very high!;) ;) 8-) 8-)

Mate something is missing here where are you measuring to? You should measure to the centre of the hub and if you are you haven't got 3.8" lift sorry.

Stock gap is ~580 in the back and 550 in the front so it looks as though you got around 2"

If you have a look in the ride height thread the dobinson kit puts it up to ~600 up front and 640 in the back.

Mine is 580mm front and 620mm rear with steel ARB bar, and all I had was the Snake racing spacers and shackles.

Hey ML I wonder what yours would drop to with a steel bar on the front
