Id help by winching your bull bar up ...... but I cant get to my clutch :doh:No but I can help you when you get your winch
Got the new springs and shocks fitted today at Ultimate and can't believe the difference! It's no longer a boat lol. I will do a measure on it next week at home in the garage but it is roughly 45mm lift in the front and close to 70mm in the rear. Will be interesting to see how it drops with the van on.
I already have a longer drop hitch but it is on the lowest holes. Might have to undersling the van? I can get a longer hitch if necessary. I will let you know how I go.
Looks great @17triton will need to take it on the tracks to see what sort of travel you get now
Yes it will be good to see. No where near the Prado for articulation mate but never will unless I chuck some coils in the rearLooks great @17triton will need to take it on the tracks to see what sort of travel you get now

leave the wheels alone, get bigger tyres instead.......oh and a new angle grinder to help fit them!
Measured the lift in the garage at home today. Still had engle in the back as well as water tank. No air in airbags. This is mainly for my own interest for monitoring over time.
Before lift - After lift
FR 538mm - 585
FL 527 - 575
RR 555 - 620
RL 540 - 610
Measurements are from centre of wheel to flare.

A bit of an update on the navigation side of things in the Triton. I diced the elcheapo iPad mount and bought a Ram mount. These are made in the USA and are awesome. I gave it a hiding on the weekend and didn't look like falling off the windscreen. Not cheap at $115 delivered but a quality bit of gear that I hope lasts me years.
As a bonus it took some great video as I was driving but fill up the storage quick.

Hey @17triton these things are great, also have one of these, works a treat when 4wding and doesn't move :thumb:
PS: not sure if it was just me and the weather, but when I had it mounted similar to you on some sunny WA days last year it got quite hot and actually turned off. Think the added temp being under the windscreen caused it but seemed to power back on again after it cooled down in the fridge
