do you have rubber bushes or urethane?
has anyone lengthend the front arms and moved the chassis mounts back
ive never looked at a patrol but if the arms were about 200mm longer they would bind less and help the angle from chassis to contact point of tyre, especially with +9 and 40's
cheers, serg

yes, theres lots of solutions to make a patrol front end flex
if you can think of it, someone's probably already tried it.

I recommend Superiors arms which flex awesome but good stability coupled with a set of drop boxes.
You can check them both out here, prices included:

This is my patrol with radius arms made 100mm longer, Dobbins X link and 14 inch coil overs running 42s. I could max out 18 inch coil overs easy with this set up but 14 inches is heaps. There is plenty of flex left in that but I didn't have a big enough mound to flex it on.
It's not the best picture but you get the idea. There is heaps of detail pics here of what we did.
