Have you looked at the gwynn Lewis suspension kit, you can then use a 12 in travel shock like the OME N73L, I think that's the old code number it's something like n700l they use it for 3-4 in lifted patrol front suspension. The gwynn Lewis kit uses it at all 4. Terrafima make a not so good copy of his kit, dislocation cones front, raised shock mounts and dislocation hook rear.

Thanks will have a look, Greg mentioned that TerraFirma "KIT" still requires new extend break lines, extended ABS sensor lines, drift shafts etc and is a bitch to fit.

I know this may sound odd but unless you are really after the bling factor it may be worth painting it all black before you fit it... even if it doesn't require engineering if it looks modified it will be up to you to prove it is OK if you are pulled over.

Not making a comment on you directly, just after a conversation I had recently with a fresh new police officer :rolleyes: :wasntme:

Have a look at X-Eng.
Really nice gear.
I fitted x-Arms and x-Springs on the rear plus modified (raised) some Terrafirma top shock mounts, and fitted the Terrafirma extra long shocks, made an amazing difference in rough country.
I was planning playing with the front, but extra travel in the rear seems to have kept wheels on the ground, and so far no need for the extreme front travel.

no big issue in my case, I will get the modifications engineered
