Looks an easy fit up. Basically just drop the shocks off the top mounts,pop the coils, drill a few holes and will slot straight in. As this kit is modded for longer travel I will have to check and measure lengths so nothing binds. May involve spacers under the bags or bump stops and relocating the upper shock mounts to get it perfect.

Just waiting for this storm to pass over and I'm into it this arvo.
Its all done and exceeds my expectations. Also the vehicles expectations:eek: These things go way past the given measurements I had:twisted: The tray height, 35's and the shock length are the limitations now:eek:
Pics soon;)
Photo bucket is giving me the:censored::censored::censored: Have uploaded twenty odd pics and only see a few:mad:
I'll stick a few on here for now but you will miss some of the detail:(
Tacked the lower retaining bolts so captive:)

You seem happy. Would you say it would be a worthwhile mod for my RRC?
I think this setup may be an over kill in a Rangie or Disco unless you have grossly uneven weights or massive down push on the tow bar.Quote:

I'll have it loaded up this arvo with uneven weight so will give an update.
As you can see its sitting nice and level with this side delivery feed out bin. 40psi left and 60psi right.

One thing I have noticed is the shocks are able to control the full air suspension much better then the coils. The ride is so much better when off road.
Found another big positive for this setup to day.
Got hung up bad on a rock shelf in a creek crossing. Forward back and stuffed around with no purchase. No problem:D 80psi in both bags and it lifted its self off:) Drove out and aired back down to 25psi for a smooth ride home.
Have say I'm very keen on converting the front now:twisted: I would also like to put sway bars on with quick disconnects or even better ACE... To complex:(
ha man you got some full travel pictures:twisted:
you said you have short shocks but if taken off how much more will the bag/bellows travel.
