 Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 15:58 Post subject: Hi lift wheel mate. |
 |
|
Got one of these from eebuygum. http://stores.eebuygum.co.uk/R-and-C-4X4 (don't have one in as i bought it  )
I works very well with a rubber pad to protect the wheel/tyre. It should in most cases save jacking all the droop out of the suspension only to find your jacks not tall enough 
Pics.
On an aside, I had run out of compression on the O/S/R shock but still had about 6 inch of droop left in the N/S/R one  Roll on the twister shackles 
BTW these figures are for a mk1 +2" Pro Comp ES9000.

Im sure while under load and the jack set in the raised position it would be fine, however i would not want to be on the recieving end if it were in the lowering position
While on the subject of Hilifts, i removed A grizzley claw today from a 10j rim using the hilift against the weight of the beast! Tomorrow i will be taking the rest of them to kwik fit What a ball ache! never again

Really? I found it straight forward How thick is the side wall on a grizzley? Was a set of BFG AT's which I changed...
the side wall is the only thing I can see that might make it difficult?
