    Well I went down to LRA this afternoon with the intention of having a look at their rear raised shock mounts then making my own.

    I was very impressed with the full kit.....so impressed that I bought one.

    Now no-one tell my wife!

    The whole kit is very good and will save me a heap of time mucking around....but it is not cheap. I already have extended brake lines so I managed to get them to take these out of the kit so it cost me $500.

    PS. The rear monts are a lot different to your's Mick. They no longer change the angle of the rear mount but they do use about 8mm steel plate to make it up and has a plate on both sides of the chasis and forms a box section on top of the chasis.


    I will take a pic for you Dave before I install it then you can make one.

    I know!

    I had planned to get most of it in on the weekend but I went down to Brown's to pick up my springs this arvo and they only had the front springs ready, rear won't be till Monday.

    And Greg wont have the shocks till Monday either, then I have to drive to Cranbourne to pick them up. :roll:

    And I am in Sydney from Tuesday til Friday!!!!


    But I will do it somehow.

    Nice flex Mick.
    I also have the LRA long travel kit and only question is how did you get around the issue of rear radius arm bush binding (I think that's what it's called) At the angle my radius arm is at the moment , I feel that I'm not getting full articulation. I've seen LRA kicker but seeing it only goes on one side of the chassis mount wouldn't there still be binding on the front bush? Anyone cranked and lenthened the rear radius arms?

    Thanks Adam, Pics would be cool - price sounds pretty good though

    The bushes and cranked arms do the same thing, the only way the pinion angle is changed is by shortening or lenghening the arms (as it rotates about the A frame ball joint)
    If you use cranked arms, they need to be braced or even remade completly.

    The overall length of cranked arms is different by jack all (less than 5mm)
