marin and myself have gone and got a meter of 75mm ally and also gotten the supplier to cut it.. we just need to drill a 13mm hole in the center..

bolts + ally blocks = ~$90

the body mount rubbers that you will also need to replace will hit you round $400 as well. They are the problem, and yes you need them as well as the alloy blocks.

Had real bad steering wheel shake at very similar speeds. Never got around to fixing it, till I got the 33's and bingo, no more shake :)

i think nearly all patrols get a bit of a shimmy around that speed.
i know mine does but its not that bad so i put up with it. have noticed however that it is alot worse when i have a big load on the tray 500kg+

could be a worn uni in the tailshaft. Loading the tray up causes it to operate at a different angle because the suspension will be slightly sagged. Take it out, grease it up and move the joint around by hand a bit then reinstall
