I have done a 50mm body lift and lifted my steel bar by welding a 50mm rhs section to the top of the front chassis rail where the bullbar sits. I then cut the bottom of the bullbar mount out so it would slide onto the rhs mount. I then had to drill new holes in the bullbar for the mounting bolts. It ...

Have spoken to a few people out on the tracks who havedone the mod and are very happy with the result. I have dual batterys, winch bar , winch etc on the front and was after a bit of help to lessen the impact of potholes, ruts, bumps etc.

Hi I was after some advice on making a mount to run twin shocks at the front on a gq patrol and any problems that may occur etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Steve
