Da toro, el perfil frontal mide 7 cm. Haz tus cuentas, espero tus comentarios, críticas, etc. Un abrazo. Paco

Hola Paco, Para mayor claridad, cuando te refieres al perfil frontal, ¿te refieres al grosor total del deslizador de roca, 7 cm?
Me gusta mucho lo que has hecho y creado.

"Hola Paco, For clarity, when you mean front profile, are you referring to the overall thickness of the rock slider, 7cm?
I really like what you have done and created. DaBull"

Hi Jiman01,
Yes, like Paco I have taken detailed measurements and found that from the front door to the rear door the Grenadier has a rake of approximately 3cm or 1.18".
I believe it is the way the suspension is set up to give the Grenadier a rake to perhaps make it look like it is going faster or to make it more streamline, LOL.
I believe Eibach or another manufacture is going to be offering different coil springs providing different lifts for the front and rear in order for the Grenadier to
set level and have no rake. I kind of like the wedge shape for now, LOL.

Most of the expected payload weight, especially when towing, is going to be in the rear. To allow for this without having a squatty look or too much front end lift, most trucks have a higher rear end. Unloaded level does look better but the suspension is built this way on purpose.

Hi Bruce, That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Hola Paco, gracias por esa Dedicación. Eres demasiado bueno. Me encanta la construcción combinada de control deslizante de roca y escalones laterales. Pasé 2 semanas en España en 2016, un país tan hermoso. Tendré que planificar otro viaje de vuelta y parar en Valencia para saludarte en persona. dabull

Thanks DaBull, I'm glad you like them, passing through Valencia seems perfect to me, whenever you want you can find me here, and since I've been retired since last year, I have all the time in the world, if you don't know Valencia you'll love it. Greetings.

Yes, let's see if that makes it clearer for you.

Hola Paco, mi amigo. Gracias por las medidas adicionales. Parece que la jubilación le sienta bien.
