Agreed John,that is why I use different mounts and shocks,and retained rear springs.I have worked out with modified turrets on the front,that I should be able to fully utilise 13"travel shocks,as the 11 1/2" travel shocks limit the drop by at least 1 1/2 -2" on my truck.It is always a continuous quest for that little bit more though.I have a couple more things that I am looking at,that I will hopefully get around to.I am fairly happy with how it works offroad now,as it is very stable and fairly competent,and the major drawback is really the diff clearance under the Salisbury,but have been thinking about helping that a bit more than I already have,just need to find someone that I trust to do some welding,as I don't have access to a decent welder since I left the industry.

Either all your setups are well guarded secrets or I am not asking the right questions. :confused: But what I take from that is, there are not simple solutions, no easy kits.

This ;)

Surprisingly Low Ranger's and my front ends are pretty similar, right down to the bushes we use, Wayne just uses longer springs and dampers.
Eventually I hope to try some 12"travel shocks and longer/softer springs to see how they go, but it might be too much of a compromise for on road use as mines a work truck 90% of the time.
