Almost finished my rear tire carrier, I had made a Jerry can holder to fit 3 20l cans but it just doesn't fit, it would but then I wouldn't be able to use the latch, so that one is for the roof and I'll make a duel holder for the rear.

good work,

I had my Bilstein 5100's fitted today and gained another 10-15mm by putting the coil isolators back in

so before my springs were also back to front IE left was in the right right was in the left and it sat

Front Right 510mm Rear Right 510mm
Front Left 530mm Rear Left 530mm

now its a nicer 540-545mm

And with the old Shockers and no spring isolators

Looks good Madaz , how do you tell if the springs are on the wrong side mine sits lower on drivers side aswell ? Could it be because springs are on the wrong side?

What size tyres are you running there Madaz?
I have a similar ride height (as you know) and was looking at 265/70x17's.
Looks like the rear diff could do with moving backwards a little to center the wheel. Not easy without replacing the rear upper link I know

Cheers,
Ruffy
