Thanks again Vards. Didn't see any steel bullbars so wasn't that tempted. I've now got the numbers and will make some calls tomorrow.

I'll try to be brief with this off topic item: I've fitted some new tyres - Cooper AT3 245/70R16, I've previously had 2 sets of ATRs on other 4wds and they have been great and gone the distance. That series has been replaced with AT3 which are more aggressive and louder. Anyway they hold the road like shit on ya boots, but my fuel consumption has increased too.
Could be the slightly larger tyre diameter, but it's not any harder to drive gearing wise and the speedo is actually accurate now - so I'll suggest it's both the rolling resistance & diameter factors causing it.
Back on topic, the plus side is the slightly better clearance. I'm sure it felt higher from the drivers seat for the first few trips..
I was parked at Bunnings near the beast built by btalyor218 yesterday and found myself unable to resist loitering. Was blown away by how high and awesome it is! So now I've seen the CRD Stu kit in the flesh I'm going to get a quote and put some coin aside for a lift in the next few months.

Just a little info for the folks at home.
Our lift utilises a front laser cut strut top plate that gains lift yet retains front end wheel travel. We believe this is critical on the KK's as we've found that when testing the Mopar Lift it was topping out in the front quite badly. Also the rear shocks are'nt as long as the ones we use.
We also come with a Lifetime Warranty on the coils against failure and / or sag for peace of mind
Enjoy you're KK's, they're awesome vehicles'!

Scuderia Velocia Motors in Mosman (only the one in Mosman) are the guy's that did my lift for me which is a Mopar. The items where imported from USA and come in the pretty mopar colours (blue springs and silver shocks) and the boys in the workshop had to do a lot of searching etc but thay know what their on about now.
Mines been in for about 8K now (been deployed and no chance to drive) and its settled in but I think its a bit lower in the front than back, but since I tow it sorta works out OK.
The additional clearence is a must have for ANY off road but the additional harshness in the ride is a big trade off for daily use.
It may be better with some higher profile tyres which I dont as yet have, but I do like the way I can throw and I do mean THROW it thorugh the corners....its like a 2 tonne sports car at the present.
Anyway I'm of the opinion that if you are serious about a good lift kit, STU's is prob the go. I just wanted to keep my 6 year warranty intact.
