How much lift can I run on stock geometry?

Small lifts can work on stock geometry, but castor correction and extended brake lines may be required from approximately 40–50 mm upward.

Do I need new shocks with coil spacers?

Often yes. Spacers change ride height without adding travel; shocks must have suitable open/closed lengths to avoid topping or bottoming.

Which spring rate should I choose?

Choose a spring rate to match constant load (bar, winch, drawers). Overly stiff springs reduce comfort and traction when unloaded.

Will a steering damper fix wobble?

It can reduce kickback, but wobble usually indicates worn bushes, track rod ends or incorrect alignment that must be addressed.

Do you ship suspension parts across Europe?

Yes. OFM4x4 supplies and ships suspension components throughout the UK and Europe, with local stock options for faster delivery.

Bump Stops	Overtravel limit	Simple protection	Length vs usable travel
Lift Kit Accessories	Complete the system	Reliability & legality	Brake lines, ABS, sensors

How to Choose the Right Setup

Define payload: Daily light load, touring weight or constant accessories (bar, winch, drawers)? Choose spring rates accordingly.
Pick lift height: Aim for the minimum lift that clears tyres and terrain. Consider matched kits for balance.
Match damping: Select shocks valved for weight, driving style and heat management.
Correct geometry: Use castor/radius arm solutions and brake-line/ABS brackets after lifting.

Example: Adding steel bumpers and a winch? Choose constant-load front coils, uprated shocks, and castor correction to maintain straight-line stability.

Fitment & Compatibility Guide

Alignment: After any lift, perform a full alignment and check castor/toe.
Brake lines: Ensure line length and ABS wiring suit the new travel.
Shock length: Verify open/closed lengths match the springs and bump stops.
Legal limits: Ride height and headlight aim must meet local regulations.

Upgrade Sequence Roadmap

Stage	Focus Area	Why It Matters
1	Springs & Shocks	Establish ride height, control and load support.
2	Geometry & Lines	Castor correction, brake lines and sensor brackets.
3	Fine Tuning	Steering damper, bump stops, torsion bars as needed.
4	Validation	Alignment check, torque settings and test drive with load.
