Lifts & Handling

[Ems and Jim]

I followed a lifted / jacked up ....something'd Surf on Friday.

I suspect it was just the body lifted, as I could see the diffs & most of the exhaust. But he had enormous wheels & tyres.

The thing that concerned me following him was how it pitched, rolled and toed out on every bend, he virtually had to square a roundabout to get round it, with the nose pushing out all the way round.
We weren't going fast, as my car was on about 3 & 1/2 injectors at the time so what on earth has he done wrong ?

It almost seemed like the show trux that are lifted really high, the way they dip & bounce

Is this pitching & rolling normal on lifted trux ? Coz' if it is I don't wanna do it !

Well for what it's worth, I've always thought that lifting trucks is a total waste of time and money. If you want a tall vehicle, buy a tall vehicle, don't go ruining an otherwise perfectly good truck. Just because you can afford it doesn't make it right. If you raise your C of G your vehicle will not work as it was designed to.

Horses for courses. A lot of things that other people do seem like a waste of time and money. Some folks go watch soccer, some go watch birds, some golf till they drop, some sit in the pub and pi$$ their money up again the wall, some drive Landrovers,

....its called passing the time
