I used 3 1/2" Moab springs in my TJ for a while. I only replaced them as they are too soft for towing. there is plenty of material in the factory track bar mount on the diff end to re-drill to re centre the front. I used an ARB drop bracket in the rear. make sure that the bracket you buy suits the RHD aussie models as the yank model is completely different.

G'day Low Ranger, thanks for the input, i ensured with Morris 4x4 that it was for a RHD, but in saying that, i have received the wrong parts from the states before.

Cheers

Giday,
I have the exact same kit in my TJ. If you purchase it from 4WD1 it comes with the relocation bracket for the rear track rod. I had to replace the front one for 2 reasons. 1 it was worn and 2 because I had to get the front axel cantered. I also had to mod the rear drop bracket to achieve the correct thrust alignment. I also had to replace both upper and lower front control arms to get the correct caster angles and pinion angles, With out these the front axel rolled forward and it drove like a dog, also the springs bowed forward and rubbed on the bump stops. I also needed to manufacture a relocation bracket for the steering damper so it didn't rub on the drag link. sounds like a lot but well worth the effort a 2 1/2 lift with 31 mud terrains on the standard alloys looks really good and doesn't cause any grief with the road worthy. Make sure you put the spacers between the chassis and the rear gear box cross member/bash plate as this corrects the rear pinion angle. Hope this helps.

it doesn't matter what brand of kit you buy...they always need more bits & pieces to get them working better. kits make it easier, but not always better. I would use an SYE kit instead of dropping the transfer case. it is expensive, but solves a lot of problems correctly.

Bet it's wrong.
They have little appreciation of the differences between LHD & RHD.
