              There you go Marc, I said friends in high places. All the nice things you said about AMTS paid off

              I tried doing it but I got a message saying I needed to 'spread the love' around more.

                  • Ok, so I couldnt wait!
                    Bugger of a job on your own, bloody heavy and without ramps but its all on and looks tops
                    Once again, thanks Andrew.

                    So diff drop is in and the plates and hopefully get another 25-30mm lift in the front in the next couple weeks!



                    The front didnt drop at all with the weight of the plates and wasnt really expecting it too.
                    If you do the maths, theoretically would have only dropped about 1-2mm.
                    Will have to find another excuse for more lift

                        First up with some coil spacers that Samo (thanks heaps Samo) very generously donated to the cause
                        I like the comfort of the HD TD springs that I have now, and messing about with different shocks and springs can be a bit hit and miss as we both have discovered.
                        So, stick with what Ive got and just preload the springs a bit with spacers.
                        Essentially the same as if you had Billies and moved the circlip up.
                        Ive got 15mm spacers so that should get me 25-30mm extra height at the front.
                        From my current 775-780 to 800-810'ish which isnt that high really.

                        The rear is a whole different deal and will mean using 80 series shocks and longer airbags and that = big money so that can wait for a bit.
                        Its ok fo now and I can tweak them up a tad more if need be.
                        Cheers
                        Marc

                              Tell you what, I'm getting tired of driving backwards and forwards between WA and NSW - not to mention the cost of the resprays between silver and Gold. You know it's gold not white now don't you Rob
