I have a been to my mechanic for the roadworthy and he has given me the usual list as well as questioned the aftermarket arms and the lift. He said if he passes it and the DT has a look he will get his ass kicked, so he said go and get yourself an engineering cert for the lift and arms, put some ...

The stock sway bar will not clear the front drive shaft, partially because of the lift but mainly because of the dropped radius arms. Its hard to explain untill you see it in the flesh.

Here is something to try to explain better.

well with my limited experience, i would advise you to get a damper with a coil spring around it, (return to center damper?) they help with controling the bigger tyres.

Yeah, didn't quite think that one through did I? but if you did remove the fuel line, wouldn't you need to prime the system again?

just in reply to adjusting the fuel easier than how Mario explained. Insted of using an open ended spanner to undo the lock nut, try using a long series 1/4 inch socket set with the 13 mm piece and an extension. I was too scared to take that fuel line off so i worked around it with a spanner untill ...

hay, I own a gq with leaves. i took 3 or 4 leaves out of the rear to get better flex, just watch you dont take too many out because you'll run out of thread on the U bolts and then things get dodgy.

yeah ok guys, you've talked me out of it. But i cant see any point on putting an old cab, with a bit of rust on a newer chassis. i think i might just hold out and save for a whole new truck. Thanks for your opinions
