Measured 10" under the diffs, that's the most important number for clearance...

(Yes Brett (Maverick), I know you've got 11") ;)

On a couple of test drives since fitting the new wheels and tyres I've had some "death wobble" (wobbling wheels and steering wheel at ~40mph), so I popped up to a mate's garage this afternoon -



And had a laser alignment done... I'd done it pretty well by eye, but they adjusted it to specification for me...

And then...



Balanced all the wheels and tyres, including the spare...

Errr...











More weights than the average gym!

But... no more wobble! B)

I do seem to have a bit of bump steer with this amount of lift and these big tyres though... something else to have a look at! :(

LOL, ooooh, the joys of Jimny ownership ;)

A bag of cement stuck to the wheel would have been easier :woohoo: :whistle: ;)

maybe when they've worn a bit you can go back & have them rebalanced & they may not need so many weights ?
