falcon utes have a plastic clip type of thing the go into the holes maybe you could find out exactly what they are they only problem is that you can still see clips, the only other real option is to weld the holes up because alot of the time if you just fill the holes with bog it will shrink and ...

have you got a pic of these teal shackles? do they flex good?

if all you really want from the ute is to get to the fishing holes and back i think just a 2 inche spring lift would be fine and maybe later you could ad some longer shackles

just cut ya shifter where you need it then cut the threaded part off the peice that's already off then rewled to the gear stick, thats how mine is done

just leave it, it'l dry itself or use a towel to scrub some of the moisture off it'l dry in a few days

use an orbital sander and just rub the existing paint back a bit you wont have to go to bare metal and then you may not have to use as much primer and a flappy will give you alot more variations in the surface making it look worse

ok thanks mate
