They were 'tight' but I had the extended ones ready to go on anyway  :wink:

Quick tip is to undo the nut holding the 'T' peice on at the top of the rear axle when doing the rears - then when you jack the axle down, as I had too even for a 1.5" lift! - the flwxi will move as far as it can then it gets a bit extra by flexing the copper pipes - its not so far as to bend them beyond the natural give in them, but it lets the axle move down a lot further.....

As for the fronts - I just looked at mine as I was jacking the axle down and thought, "Oh wel,,never mnd...."

Couple of weeks have gone by and after trundling round with the MTs on the modulars, I've deciding that "yes I can live with them" and "no I can't be bothered to swap between off road and on road setups" so I got the MTs taken off the modulars and put on the freestyles.  I know that the modulars are better off road, but to be honest I'm going to be seriously unlucky to break an alloy and I think the looks are well worth it.

I have to say, I reckon it looks the badger's nadgers!!!!  :twisted:

its not too bad a job i used a 2 poster ramp at work took 2 of us 6 hours to fit all of it and a winch bumper and winch including the wiring would not advise it without air tools and a ramp landys are heavy if they fall on you best of luck with your mods :D  :D [/list]
