i fitted +2 springs and then fitted spacers to the rear arb, which still flipped over so i ended up removing it

i kept the front on though and unspaced

Lostboy:
I took the anti-roll bars off mine completely as I wanted no movement restrictions on the axle. It's not bad for driving on the road now with a 2" lift but you really need to watch if you suddenly have to brake on a corner. I wouldn't fancy towing something with it either, so I'm searching for a disconnectable solution.

I didn't need to take the turrets off to get the new springs in, just used compressors - put the new shocker in and loosly bolt it at the top and then compressed the spring about 2 inches and it could be manovered into position quite easily.

The hardest part of the job was putting the pan-hard rod back on - I took it off to rebush it, did the lift and then found that the front axle had moved slightly off-centre, so it took some rope loop around one end of the axle to the other side of the chassis, a screwdriver to tension it and a lot of bashing to get the thing back together.

I'd add to your list strengthed steering bars, like Sumo Bars, and also relocate the steering damper. Despite the steering guard I've whacked mine off rocks a few times and the Sumo bars just flex out the way and then back into a nice straight line.

I've just put the Scorpion detachable towbar/recovery point on, and am thinking it's not nessecary to buy a tank guard, if I get some plate and weld it onto the underside of that it will protect the tank (and help with my bank balance somewhat!)
