My vehicle is a standard GXL TD except that it has an ARB deluxe bull bar on the front. It stands with its backside quite noticeably high, or rather the front low.

I measured the distance between the stop and the lower suspension arm at 20mm. This stop is close to one third of the way out to the wheel so that means that the suspension travel is 60mm, which seems rather small. What do other people have?

Unfortunately, I didn't do any measurements before the bar was put on, but I estimate that it lowered the front by around 10mm. When I stand on the bar, the front goes down by 15 mm, and I am 92kg compared with a quoted 55kg for the bar.

Cheers, Tony

I just had TJM fit their suspension to my 200.
It gave a 40mm lift at the front (I have steel bar and winch) and 20mm at the rear. This was done on purpose to help level it up.
Great suspension travel and sits nicely now.
