2 1/2" lift with 31's.
Backspacing now works better with 3" lift - tucks up into the guards better. I have modified shock mounts to allow lower control arms to clear - gives a few more inches of flex. Shocks are 38mm longer (than stock) when fully compressed and 92mm longer fully open. 38mm is exact difference due to larger tyres, so no loss in possible articulation (when stuffed into guards), still had enough room for 'bar-pin eliminators with no rubbing. Would look far more impressive without the running boards which reduce clearance by 3"
Rear leaf springs have spring pack bolts removed to allow full droop and boomerang shackles take them within 1/2" of full shock travel (+92mm over stock when fully open).

My first tip would be to not display your number plates on the forums as this has led to issues in the past re modifications etc..
With airbags in the rear, I have a set fitted to the back of mine which work really well, they are the kit as shown on Gojeep's write-up...

What part of Brisbane are you in?
Cheers, JJ
