When I contacted them over a year ago they wouldn't sell to me online. They directed me to Dolium in Syd, Mlb, Perth but things may have changed.

All that rear, dislocated flex looks tre cool, but what's the front doing ?

Sweet FA.

There are much better ways of going about it than an overpriced kit like that, even before we get into the pro/con arguments of dislocation.
As mentioned, Les Richmond do off the shelf kits that work, are made and are legal here.
Gwyn Lewis in the UK makes well regarded stuff, as does X-Eng.

Plenty of tips and tricks on here to do it properly yourself too if you are handy with spanners and a have bit of the conceptual engineer about you.

Hi John - What model Defender have you got? If it is a PUMA do a bit of reading first (on here). People have had lots of issues raising PUMAs....
