Default Drop Brackets

I was going to post a pic but they look the same as all the other pics of AEV drop brackets, I put them in today and went for a drive and the differnce is incrediable, I can drive the thing with one hand and feel confident I wont have to wrestle it back into my lane, in my poinion theses things are worth the $230.00 delivered, and fairly easy to put in.

Yeahright

Default Installed SOLID Steering Stabiliser relocation

Installed a SOLID Steering Stabiliser Relocation. I had to use the SOLID bracket on the drivers side as I have the RE Drag link. The RE Drag link is straight preventing any use of flip brackets etc on the passanger side. The brackets are very solid and very well made. This is a pretty neat solution. I will take some more photo's on the weekend, today I did the flex test just to make sure it did not hit anything. I discovered my shocks hit the chasis at full droop as well. Anyone else have this issue, if so, how do you fix it??

so they finally came through for you which is great, looks good. It is a common issue with shock hitting chassis on full flex, mine does the same on passenger side as the axle shifted over with the lift. Only real solution is recentre the axle or i know DBOR have some front shock relocation brackets which will help with this

Default Stabiliser relocation

We all know Danny has a few shipping issues but he makes good stuff. I found the secret - I simply booked my own courier to collect and it arrived 3 days later.

I have looked at those PP shock brackets and strangely enough spoke to Bill about them last week.. I have 50mm bump stop extensions which are a touch to long as I still have over 1" shock up travel left so these may work. Its why my front tires do not get tucked up so far. i used the 2" bump stops in preparation for the 33".
