    here are some better pics

    front 50mm spacer



    and this is the rear 50mm spacer... note how it's a 3 pcs setup to keep all the angles true (look at the bush on my shock) and it rests against the top of the chassis

    Thanks Mick, those pics are great.

    Looks like I won't have to worry about the extending the front tower.

    The LRA bracket on the rear is very good, wish I could get it. I will have a play around tomorrow. It looks like the bracket actually angles forward at the top and I'm not sure I want to muck around doing that. I guess my Rangie only does about 200km/month so a piece of steel plate will have to do.
    The idea of a horizontal plate which rests on top of the chasis is a good idea.

    Do you reckon LRA have used the taper shim they sell to correct the angle of the rear mount on that extended mount ?
    Maybe you could buy that and fab up the lifted chassis plate ?

    I did not know LRA had an adjustment shim for the rear shock mount.

    I will have to call them tomorrow and find out.

    I called LRA today. They no longer make the shim to adjust the angle of the rear shock.

    damn when i had mine fitted it was a prototype i know he donst make the a frame spacers anymore which is a shame as they are a work of art. i guess if he dosnt get the demand for things it's not worth making them....

    just extend them and see how bad the bush on the shock is maybe u dont need it??

    Yep, seems like the easisiet thing to do.

    Otherwise I could make my own shim. It looks like the bracket is just set forward at the top by about 10mm, does this sound right?
