    Really? I didn't know that. I wonder why?

    I'm with Winnie on this too. I know you've spent your cash but for your usage, I would have gone with a 2" lift and what was saved on not forking out for the rest of the parts (panhards, drop boxes etc) could have been spent on a rear locker which would increase your off road capability significantly more than the extra 2" of lift........
    That's my 2c

    From what I have been reading a 2inch lift is damn close with 35's. Don't matter anyway. I am happy with my choice. I can't wait until it all arrives so I can put it in. As for rear locker. Thats on the way too, but not yet. Gotta get this done first. Lol, so much for saving the coin for the TD42 build.

    As long as your happy mate. I hope you are ok with being in a boat or are going to upgrade your swaybars. Having had flexy coils myself with the same description they give on that site she will be rolly mate. I only had mine in a ute and the utes don't suffer anywhere near as much as the wagons in body roll. They do work good though.

    You may not need bump stop extension mates as there are more coils (so more steel) you may find the coil will limit your up travel. I'm not sure if you stuck with the supplied shocks but I would have spent a little extra and gone the amadas.

    Thanks for the input Matt. I ended up going the 4inch Tough Dog 45mm Adjustables. I did think about upgrading the sway bars too but though to hang off and see how she rides first. Hmm so you think I won't need the bump stops? I was under the impression I would, especially if I went the flexy coils...

    I would just wait until you can do some measurements before forking out money for them as you don't want to spend the money then have the wrong size and have to wait while you send them back and get the right ones sent to you if you know what I mean.

    You will have to cut the bump stop plate on the rear diff or they will hit the shock and ruin it.

    The guy has them in stock anyway so I might hold off on them and measure it up first...

    Fuck! Time to hit panic stations already I think. I rang the Courier company who is sending the springs down and they think I won't see them until Friday or even Monday!!!! Even though I ordered them last Friday. The springs will go from Burleigh heads, up to Brisbane, then to Sydney, and then to Melbourne!!! I need this done by Friday mid arvo at the absolute latest. I need a drink!
