If so you only need to Tap the Bleader hole in the top of the box and then put a T piece in the steel external line that runs around the box.

More info please :)

OME shocks are highly rated in the UK, but i have found that the shocks recommended for a approx 2' lift are to short so we use brackets to lower the mounts and cones to stop the springs dislocating. It's cheap and gets yer suspension working as you want it.
OF course if you want hard core? Well ...

Sorry forgot to say that if using locking diffs as far as i am aware the traction control has no adverse affects and proper use is quite unhindered.
Even with big tyres like simex.

Are you not aware that the diff lock is already present but not connected?

Also the traction control does not give a shit if the center diff locks engaged or not.

When you fit your relay, upgrade the earth to the bulb as this has a 'orrible habit of getting hot and melting when using bigger bulbs!

Even if you don't fit bigger bulbs its well worth it cos as we all know stock wiring is pretty poor.
