Agree with that, especially the snorkel, would not want to make that hole myself.
The rest should be easy.

Thanks guys. Any one want to fill me in on what's involved in doing a lift kit DIY lift? Is it worth tackling or just paying the $266 (inc. alignment) for them to do?

Ha, for $266 (an alignment costs $50-$60 anyway) I think it's a no brainer. Get them to do it. Last thing you want is it failing when offroad.

Hey mate, just curious, were you only allowed to spend the $5k on ARB product or was it allowed to go towards installation as well?

He said a while back that it was 5k for products he just had to front install costs.

Terms and conditions stated it could go towards catalogue product only. Fitting costs weren't covered.
