    I will swap you a Tricycle and Little Red Cart so you can use them around your property to collect firewood.
    The photos are just an example, the ones I have are chipped and dented but still in good condition.

    What length shock are you going with? Be interested to hear how you go. I have the same 2" GU lift as AB so it's closer to 3" but am keen to get some more flex from it while still remaining in the "legal" zone........and there is no way I could drop $5K on suspension ATM.

    Neither can I but if I sell the yota for 1k, sell some more bags and get my ass into gear to market it better rather than here and sell a kidney I reckon I can make it happen!!!

    Shouldn't have to on the front as the superior arms will place the diff in a better spot. My girlfriend only runs a 2" body lift on her ute with 35's and it out flexs most coil patrols and the Tyres don't touch. The rear on a wagon is a little different, as the wheel is pushed into the guard it is pushed rearward and will mostly touch with 35's so it may need a trim. Also long arms lessen the effect of rear steer when you start to chase better suspension travel. Long arms really are that good (for a bolt on application).

    I did do a rough measure but I don't trust the measurements as it was just using the high lift, I'll get some real world measurements before I actually get the shocks but using the highlift I got 504mm compressed 785 at full flex but as this was just lifting the body the other wheel wasn't tucking up so I'm not sure if this will affect it So I'll let you know when I get them!
