    I agree with Tony. Any patrol with more than 2' of lift should have the tailshaft flipped
    EG: Skinny end near the gearbox
    Whenever i fit a 3/4/6/ suspension lift i always flip the tailshaft
    Cheers

    Before



    After



    Big difference and much easier than trying to lift the gearbox!

    One job to go = extended brake lines

    Yeh I drive this thing from site to site every day so Im happy to remove the front sway bar but will keep the rear fitted (for now at least!)

    I bought this kit second hand from a guy that had it in his gu for 6 months, sold that vehicle and put the standard suspension back in.
    It consists of king springs, raw shocks and steering damper, ironman panhards. Unsure of the make of draglink, drop boxes and extended rear trailing arms but Im going to put superior engineering stickers on those haha

    Very happy with how its coming along, snorkel is on its way and then I want to do the transfer case low range gears, may be awhile off though.

    Im impressed with them so far, seem good quality and there not made in china

    They have quite a firm rebound so not a lot of body roll even with the front sway bar removed
