ground clearance

Postby doctahjones » Thu Apr 03, 2014 9:05 pm

i forget sometimes just how much clearance the 2in lift and +2 diameter tires give us, it's usually obscured by the spare tire....the standard gallon water jug is centered under the rear diff, and the shot is lined up so the front skid plate is parallel with the rear diff...

on a side note, the rear springs are "off" because i had the drivers side rear jacked up while changing out a tire. i've been painting my rims one by one, using the full size matchign spare to rotate out....

Gotta love that R230

I need to try this. My spare isn't there anymore, it's too big. My passenger spring is also off a bit.

Your rear camber looks a bit off. That's how my front camber is. :cry:

was due to me jacking that drivers side rear up and i hadn't rolled the wheels to reset (notice the 2x4s in front of the front wheels).
