    ALL SORTED NOW :)

    Fitted OME heavy duty springs (constant rate 40mm lift) and "nitrocharger sports" shokies(latest upgraded ones allegedly) today

    (more pics in sig. link)
    Road tested before fitting new steering damper and sits well on both blacktop and dirt.
    Play time tommorow to check flex and tail shaft to x-member clearance.
    I'll ree meashure after settling on this run


    For any one interested heres the rough measurments...
    Started using this post from Slunnie as my base point.
    "The normal measuring method is from the middle of the hub to the underside of the wheelarch - ie hub to guard measurement.

    Hub to guard specs are:
    Front 485 - 515mm, with almost all delivered at 485mm
    Rear coilers 468 - 498mm with almost all delivered at about 470mm.

    Front before..467/450
    Front after....520/525...lifted 53/75(@20 from std)
    Rear before...465/467
    Rear after.....530/535...lifted 65/68(@50 from std)

    Now has the back up slightly look that it had when I got it
    Front Radius arm now sits level again and the rear one slops to the diff..

    Thanks for your input guys.
    Cheers, Kyle

    I fitted OME 779's on the front of mine (SLS spacers on rear) to cope with the winch and bull bar (eventually) very happy how it sits now, and seems to be better on road than it ever was !!.......even comparing to the genuine Land Rover winch springs I did have on there for less than a year
