the lift if 6in with springs and spacers,

shocks are +6front and +8 rear

front and rear dislo cones

front arms are standerd but +4 cranked pushes,had QT arms but hated the ride with them,also had bad vibes when driven

rear range rover arms,made +2 longer with +4 cranked arms

have wide yoke props front and rear,also longer sliding yokes front and rear

also new a-frame ball joint,waiting on a custom one as it stops flex quite a bit

+2 longer bump stops front and rear

tyres are 33,12.50,15s bfg,used for a few days i had 35s,but that just didnt work at all so went back to 33s
