Mine dont have side airbags in :thumbs I swapped them for an earlier set in mint nick :naughty

I know you have:D but thought i'd mention it incase those with seat air bags went to get a set of covers like yours not knowing you have changed your seats because if the seat air bags went off the seat covers would stop the bags going in the correct direction & force the bags to inflate into your side or back causing bodily damage:doh

That's a good shout!! I'd hate to be responsible for something like that :(

The front is now an inch lower than the back, I'm going to take it up and inch and a half at the front to just help that bit more with clearance for the 33's :naughty

33's on this week maybe :nenau

Depends if I get my arse into gear and get the torsion done this evening :bow :bow

The eagle eyed ones amongst you will notice a large gap between bumper and body again, yes this is still work in progress, I'm currently beefing up bumper supports :thumb2

don't overdo it with the torsion bars or it will be like driving a go cart,about 1/2 inch lower on the front is about right.

I'll go same height all way round I think then just so it lookls right to the eye :augie

Go carts are fun anyhow :naughty
 
Just remember that when you have some weight in the rear the front will be pointing at the sky.
Trying to drive it when it's too high on the front is a major task :lol
 
TBH front should be lower than the rear due to weight transfer when pulling away as the rear end will squat down a bit, if it's level the front end will lift & effect the steering also handling will be effected which will show up more due the the all round lift. Personally I would have the front 0.5-1" lover at least & that's still less than the difference of a standard truck with the torsion bars set right

Well I'm already an inch lower at the front, I'll try it level all around and if it's an issue I'll wind it back down :thumbs2

Got it on ramps last night at the local petrol station and jet washed the underside as there was still some compacted mud hiding away from the laning weekend :lol
 
yes defo slightly lower on the rear, did this myself, had it really high on the front at one point, when you hit dips on the motorways you S**t your pants as there is no downward travel :eek::eek::eek:
