You could double damper it, possibly back first then front if you like it. A wider track would be a good idea considering the extra height, i put 8x16 performance TX alloys on mine they have 1.5" more offset than the military wolf wheels and are rated at 1400kg each so added 3" extra track (not too keen on spacers) Also you could try some of those Air Helper springs that fit inside your rear springs enstead of the original steel helper springs.

Hi Gaza, Thanks for the info. Just checked scorpion racing and looks like they have the heavy rear sway kit I need. I have just bought a kit to double up on all the dampers/shocks front and rear from QT I think I'll take big HMRMP'S advice and go with the Koni heavy track raid dampers 8 of them might break the bank though$$$ $$$ but won't get around to fitting it all untill I sort the engine swap $$$$ again. The winter is coming FAST and that is my main job right now! -35 TO -45 makes things a bit tough. can't get a grip on the nuts & bolts with bloody big gloves on. If you take them off the things freeze to your hand and you have to run inside for so warm water. I have a heated Garage but the truck is a few inches to tall now to get inside.... with the wheels off I might just sqweek it in, NOT!!!!!!! As for the wheels You have no idea what it cost to buy and ship 8 wolf wheels from England to Canada I might just have to get a set of steel wheel spacers made up not sure If the alloy ones are strong enough. Cheers, Justin
