Do not you rub tires with that size without lift, at max articulation without swaybars ?Quote:

The front left rubs ever so slightly on the trailing arm on full left lock and this is only because it is a new tyre as can be seen in the picture. The others are around 1/3 worn and don't rub.
The fronts also do not touch the bumper which is standard and the only other time I have had a rub was inside the right rear guard getting crossed up through some really good ruts.
The extra diff clearance was noticeable last time I went off road.
It drives really well, not as sharp as the 18's I took off but the handling is still very good. I don't have ACE and intend replacing the springs and shocks (not going to lift) eventually.
Cheers,
Peter.
Hi Stuuu: Unfortunately it wasn't for this weekend but last :( went down to honeymoon pool in wellington dam with some guys at work, magic spot. We loved it so much we went twice over 3 w/ends (last weekend being the second time).
Hi bluelightdisco: Lift is standard rate 2" kings up front, HD 2" kings rear, with raw max nitro shocks. The rear still sags though when I've got her loaded up with the camping gear. Tyres are 265/75 km2's. I made the rear bar by looking and merging a lot of google images :) really liked the cut guard look. I also made it flush with the ribbed plastic flap on the rear, so no need to invert the tyre carrier. I've got cross bars running off the side guards back into the chassis, so she's rock solid. Can jack the car off the rear bar (well we use the forklift at work whenever we lift the bum off the ground).
Hi Hastykiwi: It's standard front bar chopped (out of necessity as it was really badly damaged). I like the way it hugs the nose cone. Unfortunately most bull bars stick out too far forward for my liking. I'll end up making something for it.
wow i have exactly the same springs on mine except i have dobinsons shocks and yours looks so much taller than mine, must be the guard and bumper cut :cool:Quote:

Victoria high country - about 60k from Bright heading to Dargo. A great drive and beautiful scenery. Here's some more. Last photo is near Dargo.Quote:

Hi ffdisco2
How do you find the KM2's in that size for sapping power from the engine ? Do you have a TD5 or a V8 ?
Cheers
