removed the 3 teraflex rear shackles and that dropped the rear 1.5 inches. so now I'm at 19.5 front and 19 rear, wheel centre to wheel arch so 3 inch lift for a limited ( or 2 inches for a sport)
end result no more drive line vibrations, so no need for SYE
as i don't use the car for heavy duty off road no loss of capabilities , so all good
seems to run smoother as well, there was a noticeable vibration when travelling at or marginally over the freeway speed limits (110k) and it seems there was also a subtle
harshness at all speeds, as now it seems much smoother.

Those measurements are 1" over sport or 2" over limited...
How do those wheels and tyres fit at that height?

It would cost me $80-$90 just for freight to get sent what you ordered. The price of freight that's what made me wonder why you went with an OS supplier. I am getting annoyed with the local Tas suppliers. I need 4m of trans cooler line and the cheapest well the only place who carries 3/8 out of three auto shops is $10 a metre, I was like WTF??????????? In fact Supercheap Auto also had some but they wanted $20 for a pre-cut one metre length, go figure............

Yep that price includes freight in AU dollars. That price was with wheel/lock nuts too that where $28 for the set! Both supercheap and autobarn wanted $22/25 a set for four nuts!!!! So i went with summit. Half of the price was freight but I really didn't care because their customer service is 10x better than here I got my package in 8 days and it came nicely boxed with a full sheet of summit stickers 2x full colour catalogues and a $20 voucher for my next purchase. Can't go wrong! I should also mention I live 2hrs from the nearest parts store.

no problems at this stage, i don't intend to do anything more than back roads and beaches any more so wild articulation is not going to be an issue,
i really really didn't want to modify the transfer case output, as I'm sure you worked out seeing as how long I've had the kit and not fitted it.
