For ome yes that is quite normal, do you have any measurements from the bottom lip of your rim to the top of your guard / flare?

Here it is mate:
Drivers Side- 785 mm
Passenger Side- 775 mm

Tyre Size- 225/75R16

That has sagged a fair bit, did ya have a measurement straight after the lift mine saged 13mm after doing the lift and putting the b/bar on mines sitting at 800 in the front now.

[Jack S]

Yep, straight after lift:
Drivers- 932mm
Passenger- 923mm

I might have to ring Cal and see what he thinks about it. People think the same or just not worry about it?

[KTM525EXC]

932 to 785 thats 150mm not 20mm???? are you sure you measured the same??

can't have haha would mean he actually came out lowering his lux by about 2 inches haha .

Its standard for them to sag mate i wouldn't be to conserned about 20mm it should still be around 3" higher then stock isn't it, if it falls further then that then i'd maybe conseder having a word with your supplier

Sorry these measurements are from the bottom lip of my rim to flare, like you asked for.... Sorry about the comfusion!

Gave Cal a call today to do with the ammount my coils have sagged (about 20mm) and he said that was around the normal figure! He also mentioned that there trying to organise/make some spacers that are around 6-8mm thick to lift it up that iltter higher once the front has sagged! Which will be great and am looking forward to Cal getting onto that!

He also said that if i wanted to i could move the cir-clip on the struts up to the next notch which will give over an extra 1".....

Yeh i wouldnt be worried about it mate i think most of us have had the same experience.

[Jack S]

Right.... well I receives buds bash and engine plate today and they were fitted straight away! the quality is great and it feels so much stronger just by weight, according to the Australian post both guards were 16kg. The stock stuff feels about as strong and light as a roll of tissue paper. We all know what they look like but will post a pic tomorrow!

I've also ordered some of buds rock sliders, which I will be getting in the comming weeks but before than will be getting skogs diff breathers early next weeks!

All in all everything is getting there slowly but surely!

[KTM525EXC]

good to see jack, the lux is coming along nicely

[Jack S]

Today before I headed up to Dubbo decided I better re-check all the bolts with the suspension as they haven't been re torqued yet, everything were up to spec expect the u-bolt nuts, these were suprisingly loose to would of turned them all about 5 or so times before the torque wrench clicked at 120 nm which the spec was! So not sure if they weren't done up right first or what, but that's the reason why they say to re check everything.....

Also fitted skogs diff breathers last week, great quality kit and very happy!

[VMN]

Great to see it is coming together Jack

Jack. When I got my ARB lift fitted two years ago part of the warranty condition for the kit was to take it back for a re-check 1000ks approximately after it was fitted. They charged nothing for it but I thought it was a good idea as suspension components are very critical..
Good work there.

[Jack S]

Thanks skog! After I got my suspension fitted I asked about bringing it back for a check and they said it was not needed, but the majority of people say it should be done! I should of done it a while ago but I usually take a fare while to do things lol....

[Jack S]

Buds, Engine and bash plate.



Skog's, front and rear diff breathers.




And the other day when i was looking around i noticed this, Not too sure what its from but guessing they did something when wrong when it was installed, taked to Cal and a sent him a pic so he could have a look himself. Will be talking to him tomorrow to see what he thinks went wrong....
Its of the passenger side bush in the leaf (as you can see in picture)

[Jack S]
