Getting parts together for a new lift. Not sure whether to go 3inch king springs or SSSL's to get that extra bit of height.

Ordered the new springs today. Should hopefully be here by friday.

Wend 75mm lifted Kings, Heavy Duty in the front, to combat the sag that the current ones have with the weight of the bar, winch and dual batteries. And went for something a little softer in the back, but should still tow OK.

Pics to follow.

Take it on the road, maybe your yard is slightly higher in one spot?

Yeah, i've taken it for a drive, and parked it on the road. It's levelish, but still doesnt explain wtf is going on. I will say though...being just that little bit higher in the front, makes a huge difference overall.

I'll fill up the tanks with fuel,as i've got maybe 20L/150L onboard, so that will affect the way it's sitting. More updates to come.

Springs have been in for a couple of days now, filled the tanks and i have 630mm between the centre of the rim and the bottom of the wheel arch/flare on all corners except the RHR. Which is slightly sagged (610mm) so i've ordered a set of coil spacers to fix the problem.

Random picture dump of the process.

Got sick of my reverse lights being pretty piss poor (have already destroyed my bin because of it) so bought some 5w Cree LED Reverse globes. For the $8 they cost, they're awesome!
