    Suspension Upgrade Complete

    Finished of the suspension upgrade today. New Bilstein shocks, King Springs and Poly Airs fitted.
    All seems good so far, will test off road tommorow.
    Overall changes about a 12mm lft to the rear over where it was sitting and about 40-45mm at the front. Turned out rear springs were LR heavy duty purple springs anyway so infact the rear had a 40mm lift over standard. Front springs were standard.
    Not a hard job at all.
    Some pics of the task.

    Rtc Steering Damper

    Had one for 2 years now. Eliminates the shudder feel when heavy towing, altogether. They are great!!

    So far the RTC steering damper seems good. No huge improvement over a standard damper, but have not tested on a long trip or tough 4wd track yet. Seems to eliminate that annoying shudder though. Occasionaly you feel it pull back when you are not expecting it to, but overall good at the moment. Will give feedback after I have had it on for a bit.

    My 3rd Staffy.The dog is a white / Red purebred Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Apparently the red is very rare. Always said we would never have a white dog. She has the paperwork and show name if we decide to show her.This one was advertised when it was 9 months old by some people who did not want them (had a pair). On first site we knew she would be coming home with us. Being white she gets to live inside.
    My 3rd Staffy. First one (Jet black with white chest) I only had for 2 weeks, then my parents would not let me have it back. They had her for 16 years. Was a freeby from my Aunty and the father was the Australian Champion at the time.
    Second one my girlfriend (now wife) got me from the pound, pure bred chocolate/brindle and had her for 17 years along with a Dingo.
    These are the best natured dogs you can have and are one of only 2 breeds I would entirely trust with my kids. Great nature, loyal and protective. Cassie actually thinks sheis human I am sure.
    Cheers
