please

certainly if you was a tad closer zippy , pretty straight forward not a big job

 

[zippy656]

i keep putting it off.

but will do it one day.

did you lift the front on a jack to make it easyer?

No need Zippy, this has got to be one of the easiest jobs on a terrano/maverick - it'll take you 5 minutes mate. I adjusted mine while the mechanic was doing the rear brake lines. He had the back of the car jacked way up in the air so I thought I might as well take the opportunity.:nenau

evening all
after doing the front brakes, i did this today too, lifted the front up by 1 1/2 inch and looks alot better, front measurement from ground to middle of arch running through middle of wheel
32 5/8 of an inch
so now hoping maybe some 31's:nenau anyone, or do i need to lift body also
cheers in advance

ps doing headlights tomorrow:thumb2

 

[zippy656]

ive 34" at the back

31 3/4" at the front

 

[meatball]

ive set mine at that expecting a bit of a drop, but also wanted a higher front, but my rear is 34 1/2 inch through middle so still got as good as 2" variance front to back,
only did it cause it was on stands, and like i say wanting bigger rubber soon:thumb2
