A mate of mine has them and he loves them, gets big flex but he had to get longer shocks and extended brake lines to make sure its ok

Cheers

eliteforce32 iam interested to now what you have and how high you sit and how much it cost cause iam looking at about $5000 for my kit that is with x over steering puting rears springs up the front, drop shackles in the rear, geting the front diff moved and is only going to sit just a bit over 3 inch

yeah mate thats about right, but always talk him of course :armsup:

i have done most of the work for my self, as in fitting of products and basic welding, the list of things over time that i have done through micka is as follows, shock hoops, dropped front cross member, re-welded my complete front chassis rail back on after coming quite a bad gutser :twisted:

, cut and re-welded my steering shaft, that included sheathing it, usual other crap, dropped steering arm rock rod, exteneded shackles all round, and numerous advise on how todo mods the easy way people done think of. shit was there any full stop in that

mine would have about 4 inches of lift, and its too high, i have done my own springs, shocks, gearbox/driveline repairs mods, so i can't realy tell u much, but if u ask micka about me, the fat redhead :armsup:

hell no which one ur talking about :twisted:

mate welcome to the world of a hilux, as i have just blown a starter and an alternator so time to get dirty in the shed

cheers
