Well, after seeing the display on the weekend with the jeep guys about what low gearing and an auto box can achieve, i'm wondering if this is a good route to go with a vit. I remember that celia barry's vit ran the calmini r&p's and an auto box and 32in simex's. did anyone ever see this in action?

i was looking at that, but for $1694 i was looking at other options first. plus the rockhopper doesn't lower the high range, so bigger tyres will get to be a pain on the road.

Antt,
give a couple of the Big Balls distributors a call, I got my suspension for a shite load cheaper than their prices on the website. I'd take a punt that Tony at GRP in Sydney could prolly freight it to ya cheaper than the quoted prices on the web.
They've just moved, so if ya need the contact details, pm me and I'll get the details.
Cheers,
