But interested if you used the LRA offset bushes Sam?
I run double wall cranked rear arms on my 110,and it certainly gets a workout,but would expect a bit more than 4 trips out of rear bushes.

No idea what brand they are, but when I started picking up the bits of Ikea, also came a box of bushes with two pairs of the same type of poly bushes and a pair of cranked poly bushes. A single pair is of no use in a 6X6 so you are welcome to them if you want to pick them up at either Arncliffe or Randwick.

The poly is red coloured.

Thanks for the offer,but after doing lots of reading,I believe that Super Pro are the only poly bush that will do what I require.I will try them at the chassis end at least

I agree. There is no comparison between super pro and all the other poly bushes IME.

Hopefully they last longer than the genuine bushes,without limiting suspension travel

Wayne, go and see Wholesale Suspension at Lidco St Arndell Park. They have them in stock (well said so the other day when I shopped for Marks).

Over eight, maybe nine years and over 180,000km with Super Pro at the chassis end of the lower trailing arms and still work fine.

Chassis end of the A frame went in during '04, no slop AFAIK, unlike the tubes and bolts flogging out on the OE ones in a bit over 100,000km.

Very little real off road these days, much rough dirt/gravel and always heavily loaded, the 130 tares @ 3000kg these days, was 2660kg five years ago but carry more work gear now.

Dampers are a touch over 10" travel, so not huge travel, arms aren't bent to correct static angle and the dampers limit flex, not the bushes.

I have quite a lot of rear suspension travel,and quite a lot of unsprung weight running steel rims and 35's and the vehicle uses all its travel as it is only used off road.Hopefully I can more than 4 weekends use out of them
