    - Spacers are complete
    - Spacer pins are complete
    - New "direct replacement" longer bump stops sorted (these are also height adjustable)
    - Shocks are on order - have gone with the TF144 all-round.

    Need to do:
    - Lengthen brake lines (will do this when I replace my pads/rotors in a few weeks)
    - Fit the shocks and then adjust the bump stop for maximum up travel
    - Once that's done I'll adjust my height sensors to suit

    Will be a great little kit once complete!

    Cheers

    Looking forward to seeing the progress via pictures. And the proof of the pudding of course - what it does for your suspension travel compared to stock - you have the stock measurements as a benchmark - yes?

    I'm thinking measurements from the centre of the wheel to the guard would be the best measurement huh? One taken at full compression and one at full extension.

    Not much to report for me. Got shocks, got bits for sensor arm extension... Sent drawings off of spacers/angles to the fabricator. But the hard and good part to come. It's either gonna all be done in 2 weeks or more likely the beginning of august as I'm going overseas for a while.

    Yeah will grab pre and post measurements.

    The idea is to use the kit more for the extra travel than the lift, although 2" odd is a good height. I think we're onto a winner ;-)

    Cheers

    Just a quick update, got things moving a bit more, I have the bits and pieces for the height sensor modification now too. The only physical parts to get are the extended brake lines.

    I won't have a lot of time over the next few weeks to start fitting it all up but I will certainly get it ready. The height sensors will be the hardest part, the rest is a good half-days work, nothing really.

    Cheers

    I'm also a bit away from completion myself. I've got all bits apart from the angled spacers for the bags. Had a few delays due to fabricators taking their time to quote, and then giving high prices to just have the material cut. Will organise these to get fabricated within the next week though.

    But I'm on holidays jet setting around as of mid next week so I won't get a start on it until early August...

    Thumbs up Thank you so much to the both of you!!!

    I'm trying to lift my EAS here in California and can't find anyone willing to do it without a kit. I am very interested in your product!

    You can get the required springs in the US.
    https://www.arnottindustries.com/par...OVER_yid4.html

    You then need to re programme your EAS ECU, with unlock suite.

    Plenty on the P38 page about all this.

    There are plenty of options for castrating the P38 and fitting coil springs but if you want to lift and keep the EAS the options are limited.
    As far as I can tell the only one on the market was from Hard Range but now that it's no longer available the options are limited to 'DIY'

    I'm also watching this thread with great interest and hoping that something commercially available will result from it, or at least some designs that can be taken to a fabricator.
