Rancho 9000XL's fitted what a difference

[David Wiltshire]

Are the spring helpers the figure 8 type rubber things?

I have now had the Vredestien Wintrac 4 winter tyres fitted and they must have a stiffer wall than the very cheap Runway tyres that were on the VX. As I have noticed at 2 bar tyre pressure the ride was a bit harder so I have now set the Rancho's at 7 which produces a nicer ride.

Yes, the black rubber figure eight. Just unbolt them, take a saw to the middle to cut them in half. I gained at least 4" clearance.

Here's a before/after. Can see it was virtually sitting ON the axle, maybe 1/4" off.
