I replaced the winch hook with a Factor 55 Flatlink E.

Hi all, about 7 months ago I installed a lift kit and put a bigger set of tyres on.

Suspension: King springs front and back, Billstein shocks in the front, still have the nivomat shocks in the back.

Tyres: SCORPION ALL TERRAIN PLUS 275/55R20 113T
Spare tyre: PIRELLI SCORPION ATR 255/70R18 113T (still fits in boot, lid closes fine but I did remove the buckets)

Tyres are a close fit, but there is no rubbing.

I feel the car handles better with the new suspension but it is bit harsh under short/sharp undulations.

Overall pretty happy and looks good imo.

I like the look of that Ironman bar but it doesn't fit GCs with quadra drive 2 and Quadralift
