08 outty. height.

Well. I bought my outlander new, was actually one of the first in this area to buy one.
Now I know, the 12" GC was a LIE from looking at it. Well, one of my questions, I've got 26" (true size) tires on it.
I put the BRP HD springs also on it.
I have the 2" RD lift also. How is it I still have just now 12"?
Now, I am in now way asking if the rubberdown lift is at spec.
I am asking, just what did I leave out of the damn dealer with as GC.
I was told, the springs I bought were roughly an inch and a half taller than the JUNK on the stock.
Well. The springs. The 2" lift, and the preload up high and the rough ride later, along with 3 new axles,( can am did warranty) I'm curious.
How come with the angles on my axles, how do I still JUST NOW HAVE TWELVE INCHES?

Yep. My dealer is gonna like me. This next Tuesday. That's when it is going back AGAIN.

[got wake?]

can you lift up on the bumper and get it to sit higher? if so, you're not maxed out, which is where they measure GC. good suspension should sag a bit for good handling. i ran my bike with the shocks maxed out for so long, but now i'm going to try to see how it does with them softened up a bit. i'll loose some GC, but i should gain better launching and handling on the trails. i even took the lift off the front so it sits with the nose lower than the back. i gotta see how it does with the 32's, though. i already took out the headlights, so i *think* it'll work, lol.

Yea, mines been Maxed out for a while. And I know all about the stiff ride.
Yea, when I have axles replaced again, there will be no lift on mine either.
I was really doing a little ranting, but damn. At the same time, they should definitely do better than they do!

[got wake?]

did you measure in the front or back?

[Andrew]

I just installed my RDC Gen1 lift tonight with 30" silverbacks, my spring adjuster are set to 4 front and rear. Front springs are stock. I measured the GC after the install and it was 13" in the front and about 14.5" in the rear.

This thing looks like a monster with the 2" lift and the 30's, can't wait to get my clutch kit and put it through it's paces.

[got wake?]

you're higher in the back than the front? that normally doesn't happen with the gen1 lift. your front springs are probably already sagging a bit.

[torkmonster]

I measured the front. I didn't the rear, but it is lower in the rear.

Agreed. Andrew, grab your front bumper and pick up on it.....I bet you get a couple inches.

[Andrew]

Oh they are definitaly sagging, gonna order the HD springs in the next day or two.

[choPppps]

I've had around 24" of clearance once.........

[torkmonster]

Yea, those HD springs are much better. And for 60 bucks not a bad deal.

Thats exactly what I thought, I can't afford crutchfields right now so I figure the HD's from BRP will get me by until I can save up some cash for the crutchfields.
