ooooooo its all exciting! just 1 place left!!!!

[igotababyfrontera]

Bring on Strata! I been watching some vids on YouTube and I'm gonna get sooo stuck or fall off a cliff
I'm thinking a +4" lift instead of 2.(+2 springs and +2 spacers) think that will help a bit!
Bring it on mo fo!!

[MrTom]

2" lift plus some meaty tyres will be more than enough lads

[igotababyfrontera]

So how about my BFGoodrich A/T tyres and +4" will that work? Been told I'm not allowed any really chunky tyres cause I'm not allowed to mod my arches we will see how long that lasts for!

[MrTom]

Don't need the tyres lads that was just to make your truck look beasty
Igotababy what's your 4" lift made up of mate? The 2" suspension lift is a good mod the body lift is a pointless one as the ground clearance isn't improved

[igotababyfrontera]

Was thinking of +2 inch springs and +2 inch spacers
that way i can keep the +2 for day to day and laura can get in and out and when i go out laning etc i can put the spacers in for that extra bit of clearance.
Sounds like a good idea and a lot of work, but i think its less likely to get me in trouble(laura )

So whats your thinking on it

[MrTom]

2" suspension lift gives you clearance bud Wich is what you want
2" body spacers don't give you any extra clearance as it just lifts the body off the chasis so the base of the car (diff, prop, side steps iff you have em etc etc) all stay at the original Hight and you just sit 2" higher in your seat? Kinda pointless unless you're putting MASSIVE tyres on.

[igotababyfrontera]

My mistake i wasnt clear,
was thinking +2" springs and +2" spring spacers.

If all else fails it will just be +2" springs

[stevd]

igotababyfrontera, I am curious as to how on earth you... A) Managed to get your car into the ditch like that in your avatar pic, and B) how did you get it out? Now thats getting your truck stuck gud 'n' propa

Steve

[igotababyfrontera]

If your gonna get stuck do it properly
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=39314

But thats the past, im looking forward, especially for Strata 2012

[horses45]

well now i have the 2.8 im efinatly looking out for the next strata trip as i wanna do it lol

[stevd]

Whoooaaa Mamma, that looked awful!!! once they start going on ice or snow there is no stopping until you hit something or in your case fall into something!!! Is it wrong to say I am impressed pulling that off If you had a bit more travel on the rear suspension you could have almost driven out!!!

[igotababyfrontera]

Driving out would have been nice, would have saved the embarressment of being winched out by a green oval (it did have to use 2 winches and a big bottom tree to do it, made me feel a bit better).

BUT

like i said i wont be doing that again in a hurry and certainly wont be doing it when we go away

[Dannyboy]

Were in 2012 which means only 110days left folks!!!
