Picking up my tyres tomorrow and will finish fitting my flexi flares on the weekend. Kind of a pointless post, but I guess I'm just a little excited. :D
Will post up pics when it's done.

I'd say 2 inch body and at least 1 inch spring with 1 inch extended bumpstops. But other's might think different.

Theory is 2-inch spring lift with the flares and -25 offset rims. Few workshops I've spoken to have said this will work fine, but I guess I'll find out on Sunday when the rims go on.
If the worst comes to I'll put a 2-inch body lift in it. I don't mind the idea of it, it just kills my chances of ever going into a multi storey car park ever again :p

Yeah, I thought's I'd stop when I finished the quad turbo setup and had the sub woofers installed, but I'm a hoon at heart.
Bigger is better right? :P

Ok, finally got the flares finished today and fitted the tyres. Can't wait to take it offroad now :)
They do clear nicely with just the flares and 2-inch spring lift, yet the gap between the bottom rear of the front flare, yet I don't think it'd rub no matter where the suspension was. Worst comes to... body lift.
Stooge, meet ya half way.... Victoria?

Haha... says the spokesperson for Gorilla Biscuits
As far as the other questions, yup as Long Stroke said, they're from Coffs Harbour 4WD. Drop him a line, Anthony is a great guy. http://www.coffsharbour4wd.com.au/. Flares were $585.

Yep, factory nudge and the bar ends/lower removed. I even have the factory option LR spot lights. Will probably sell them though before they get all scratched up and fit after market ones.
