Front is good with the pinch weld mod and sway bar in, with the sway out I will need a 20mm bump stop in the strut to clear the gaurd on full compress, making this now! Rear will need I think a bump stop to accomodate the extra height and the extra width. . I will loose some travel but gain ground clearance, and with qd2 I don't think this is a prob.
Think I will make some custom front inner guards too!!
I don't run a rear sway bay either!!

Don't forget that, in the rear at least, after adjusting the bump stop down, you can now fit longer shocks as have more room for them under full compression. Usually gain more than you lost in up travel.
I don't know without looking into it further if you can just space down the strut/shock shaft at the top without moving anything else to get lost travel back at the front too? The problem on the front is running out of thread on the top of the shaft I would think.

I will run a front bump stop in the strut itself, in the back I am running 30" long shocks already so all good.

Looks awesome mate!! Are they 285/70R17?

Love to see a few more photos once you've had a chance to test them out. How's the power/economy going now? It looks like you'll be needing that tuner soon to correct the tyre size and gear changes...

Yep 285 70 17
Power doesn't feel much different to the 265 70 17's
I have K&N pod filter and a manga flow exhaust,
Too soon for economy!
Stuffed the back up today and no rub so should not need bumps hopefully .
More pics soon
