Seems a while since I last looked at this thread, looks to be coming allong nicely.
One query I have is on the polybushs your getting, most are relativerly stiff and reduce your suspension articulation (on the front mainly) which considering the Rough Country dampers and X-springs this is not what your trying to achive. I ended up going back to rubber bushes on the front after fitting 11" Rough Country dampers.
The second query is the front damper turret mounts. They look like standard height units when typically rough country dampers are used with 2" raised mounts.
In the short term you can always just stick with standard trailing arms arms and change them at a later date when X-joint ones are avalible, I find that with dislocating springs I still get all but an inch of travel on standard arms and bushes with the same damper setup as you've got.
Keep up the good work.

Yes, i was wondering about the bushes....there red, what ones do i need?
And the twin shock turrets are -1!!!! lrs sold me them at lr fest assuring me that itll be fine but David at llama4x4 had different ideas.... im going to mount the outer shock only because if i were to mount them through the spring they would fowl on the x spring top hat :? im going to be machining up some spacers for them unless anyone wants to buy/trade them for some +2.
i am no longer fitting the cranked arms, i was told by an engineer at Devon that that will cause worse problems with my castor angle so i haven’t bothered, yet. May fir some qt rose jointed arms if the x-eng ones don’t come through!
devon bumper came too(no photo)
Got the rear springs/tyres/spacers on yesterday. Made a bit of an error on judgement as I don’t think itll fit out the garage now! And getting all that stuff on was a pain in the arse as im only by myself and didn’t have all the tools I needed so more effort was required and the pics are a little blurry because I was shaking so much.
if you havnt noticed this by now the disco has moved over to the left alot.....to put it in short i had a mishap with a hi lift.
rough country shocks to go on tuesday.
clbarclay:
If they are genuine polybush then the red onesa are the stiffer ones, genuine blue polybushes are the only soft (relativerly speaking) polyuerathen bushes I'm aware of, though I'm not sure about the Super Pro bushes as they use different compound bushes for each part of the vehicle.
Thats a good idea just using the outer mount on a twin mount damper turret, though unless you plan on running bumpstops extended by 3" over stock (and seriously limiting upward suspension movement) then you will need to do something about the length.
boss:
ok, i may look into that then, i dont think i can be botherd to send them back so ill just give these a try(i was told they dont last to long if your off roading alot anyway!) i dont really know much about bushes. im going to try the shock mounts....im not sure how the bottom plate thing for the second shock mounts, but if it mounts the way i think it does then the shock is mounted a little lower anyway, but im unsure. anyone have any pointers on fitting them? if i were to put the extended stops on would it be a but of a shi**y ride on the road and limit my articulation?
