very impressive dude, but its very shiney
Yeah yeah I know.
I am in the process of modding a lot of stuff atm so I should have some action shots soon with some decent tires.
Actually goes pretty well to top with 36" tires on. Bigger tires make it further up ramps and obstacles.
Again sorry for the shiny shots

Yep five link is a bolt in kit. Must say I am very impressed with this 2.
FRONT set up:
Springs are 19mm dia wire dobinson 6" and I run a 30mm spacer. I think I would only just have a 6" lift though.
Shocks are 99012 rancho's with pin to eye adaptors on bottom and I cut the top eye off and welded a pin to the top. These shocks where the only ones that seemed to have enough drop. They are a little long on compression but I have also spaced up the shock towers by 50mm. Obviously sway bar disconnects. I run front 'gaybar' on road. Adjustable panhard rod
REAR:
Shocks are also 99012 rancho's.
Rear has small coil drop outs but they do not come into play at the moment as shocks max out before coil drops. I think I will leave it this way.
Coils are 18mm dia wire. I think they are Carrolls. Have polly air bags too but these don't stop travel and I can still pump em up if I have weight in the tray.
Also have nissan rubber bushes throughout rear control arms.
Cheers
Brian

Have you raised the top shock mount at the rear? If not, can your bump stops touch on full compression without the shock bottoming?
Am asking because I've had a lot of trouble finding a shock with the right amount of travel. (Its also a lot harder to raise the top mount on a wagon)
