Extend the rear link pins and fit a bent upper arm and you should be OK to fit the spacers.

Choose your shock absorber lengths carefully and do it after you've done the mods above. I don't know who you normally deal with to get your suspension components (Redlands 4X4?) but you need to put your Patrol on a wheel travel ramp with the shocks disconnected so you can measure the required shock lengths and order from those measurements.

Depending on what shocks you need you may also need longer bump stops.

Glad to hear it mate - I know the thread is long, but figured it's like a reference document on the mods - trying to keep them in one place and then others can use it also (so there Kelvin!! LOL). Getting Tuf42's (Kelvin) camper is a bonus also - saves me throwing things like the second battery and solar shower setup into the car - keeps the weight etc on the trailer which I can obviously disconnect at location and drive Tank around merrily without worrying of gear coming away from mounts etc.

we got all the camping gear one could want ................BUT ..... would love a camper will be sooooooooo much easier
if i spend any more on the bus this century im dead hung drawn and quartered so says the cook lmao
was putting the avenger winch on the bus yesterday, WAS............ it dont fit into a NISSAN bull bar made by ARB
so instead of spending $1150.00 on the winch i ended up with a Warn 9000 at $2040.00.
the cook dont know just yet
when she finds out ill proberly be off line for a while............. lmao
