Anyone here with 3" lift springs know how long they got their extended hoses? Going to order some today but currently dont have the means to flex up and measure, cheers!

I did notice the other day that vitaras have
Mahooosively long front flex pipes

Wonder if these could be used as a budget alternative?

Ordered! Rang Dave at llama 4x4 (incredibly helpful chap!!) and explained my set up, think we've gone with something daft like 14" ish! Will measure when they arrive and hope they're not too long.

Yea sounded a bit long to me, but I described my set up to Dave and that's what he recommended, I'll see what the deal is when they arrive

Actually I think stock are around 295mm so that could be ok, just sounded quite long :lol:

I used my "fine adjustment device" on the plate that it bolts through, so now it points a bit more towards the back of the arch and further away from the tyre ;)
