GC suspension travel
Stock wheels and tire size with 10 mm spacer.
Purpose, find the limits of front suspensión travel, where the the bump stops engage and where the tire is entrapped in the wheel well.
No suprise then that I forgot to measure except for a picture at my current ride height. See pic!
Checked to see how much travel on the shock shaft before hitting the bumpstops. 2”. No pic.
Jacked under the control arm but lifted the entire front off the jackstands. Nope nope nope. Off with the front spring on the passenger side. See pic of the GC suspensión on the floor with my home made 15mm spacer.
Re lift under the control arm and lifted the front of the car off the jackstands. Nope nope nope. Humm, got to disconnect the sway bar.. or remove the spring on the other side. Off with the sway!
I jacked under the control arm until hitting the bump stop, next until the tire wouldn’t turn. See pics.
Results of my morning: Added another 1-1/4” of bump stop, lifted the front ¼”. It’s still posible to trap the tire. The H&R sway is STIFF.
