Hi Mate, unfortunately when we got to the end of the GVM process with the government approvals the allowed increased wasn't where we wanted it due to the design of the vehicles chassis, so we've had to go back to re-engineering the GVM. This unfortunately means we no longer have an idea on time frame. We've heard every company that's submitted for the GVM upgrade has come back with very similar responses from government approvals as well. Sadly the vehicle's chassis design is the short fall here and so increasing it's strength in a safe and legal way while also still being cost effective to the customer is the challenge each company is facing.

Hi, there is actually a Formula 4x4 South Africa team, you can order directly from them here for any of the kits you see in the video - formula4x4.co.za/

Best to check what your wheel alignment is like at an alignment specialist. If they believe your camper/caster is out then it's recommended to get some offset/corrected upper controls arms that suit the lift increase you've done.

And what about made in Japan and Jimny's manufactured before that?

Dude. That’s a little over 40k per set. That’s not lucky at all, that’s below average. I have a 2 1/2 inch Old Man Emu Lift, came with upper control arms on my 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I currently have 86k miles on a set of all terrain tires

@@primebeef3938 My dude I was talking about the UCA. Just put on my fourth set of tires, so roughly 60,000 per set, which is totally decent.

I'd opt for the adjustable ball joint UCA if there is one available for your vehicle, if not the standard fixed offset one will still work.

The airbags should work still as long as they suit the lift height of the springs. The parabolics are a 2 inch lift so if the airbags suit that you're fine. If you already own standard height bags too most of the airbag suppliers have spacers or brackets that convert it into a 2 inch lift suited bag.

@FulcrumSuspensions1976 wow, thanks for the reply... I will head down to your capalaba store next week and have a chat with the team there. Sadly I'm due new rear suspension 😮‍💨 I didn't need this leading up to Christmas but I guess it is what it is

Ff

Sadly when filming we didn't take note exactly of the wheel size or tyres but from memory they were 17" rims with 32" equivalent tyres and they didn't scrub on anything while I was using the vehicle.

No welding required for this kit!

Hi, It's tough to say the cause of your ball joints being messed up without inspecting the vehicle. I'd recommend getting in touch with a local mechanic to get it looked over to find the cause.

Yes, this guy is a pleb

Yes they do. They are specified for lift kit height.

Plenty of body on frame vehicles have IFS

This. Lifted vehicles have solid axles

@@angrycreeper100 not always bro

My hilux has one with a 3 inch lift, the diff stays inside the front cradle. So it doesn’t reduce clearance.

@@Dudesunperfect ah thanks. Good to know.

Hi Duane, In regards to the tailshaft angles have you got a tailshaft correction kit installed? Some lift kits come with these as standard and some don't but we always use a tailshaft correction kit for our lift kits on rangers due to the horrible angles they get after a lift. For the full compression cycle of the suspension it could be worth looking at longer bump stops to not allow the suspension to compress as far if that's where you are finding the issues. With CV's there is many products available to help reduce the chance of breaking them but unfortunately nothing is 100% full proof as it's a part that gets alot of force sent through it.

@@FulcrumSuspensions1976 thank you, I have now purchased some longer bump stops, the diff drop kit was bought from you guys at the Coopers Plains branch, however it is a Road Safe brand, so unsure about the tailshaft correction. I did email Road Safe directly but never received a reply.

Moving the diff forwards or back is irrelevant to fixing the cv angle. How does the munji kit move it? As they typically use the same bolt holes factory mounts fitted to

@@kerrodriley7536 What’s your source? How would it not correct cv angle? There are more than one points of rotation. Therefore angle is on more than a single plain. I’d educate yourself by checking out the Munji kit before making assumptions about bolt placement. What’s the driveshaft spacer for?

Hi Mate, SuperPro's Engineers found during their testing that there wasn't any real benefit to moving it forward as well dropping it and as such their kit just lowers it. Munji has obviously decided to move it forward slightly as well which is fine but ultimately the main benefit is from dropping the diff lower to reduce the CV angle that a lift kit being fitted creates.

Hi Sammy, In NSW we have one Fulcrum workshop at Arndell Park. Otherwise the rest of NSW is covered by our dealers.

@@FulcrumSuspensions1976g’day mate I posted a question but no answer. Thoughts?

This one can be tricky as we see this happens when the offset of the rim is too negative or even too positive. Depending on the offset of the rim it can bring the tyres closer to points it can contact like the ones you're experiencing. An aftermarket control arm can give you more clearance potentially to the tyre and give more ability to align the wheels better, but it may not fix it if the issue is more to do with the rim offset and not the alignment. A wheel alignment or suspension specialist should be able to have a look at the vehicle and give you their best recommendation depending on what they see.
