yeah, you're right JTO its been around for about 6months. I had Mermaid suspension look into it for me when I had my Bilstiens fitted.
They said the specs he got from the us on it said it would be a very hard strut more suitable for off road racing not for what we would require.

Thats why I didnt mention it before

I just spoke with ARB head office and all their bits are available except the front strut which should be about 6 weeks away.

Part numbers are:

Front Coils - OME 990 (light duty, 40kg more load than standard) or OME 991 (up to 85kg over standard)

Front Strut - N188S

Rear Coils - OME 992 (medium duty, ARB rep not sure on spec) or OME 993 (heavy duty, 45% more than standard)

Rear Shocks - N190

Estimated cost is $1,260 + $330 fitting - 2yr 40,000km warranty if fitted by ARB.

ARB advised that anybody in Melbourne is welcome to go and have a look at ARB's WH with their bar and suspension installed.

I am just going to wait for the Rancho set up and not worry about ARB. The Fabtech one looks ok but as you said its quite heavy duty.

The thing I like about ARB is that they are making different bushing rates for extra's such as bullbars. I dont know if Rancho will have that option

Sorry, have deleted the email ARB sent me, but it was very clear that the WH lift was available. Maybe they were just getting in early. It looked like a newsletter/standard sort of email that they send all their customers.

Hello Guys,
I have replaced my big tube bar as pictured in this thread with a nudge bar as this vehcle will become my wifes car soon and she does not want a large bull bar etc.
Anyway its for sale, comes with a custom bash plate for the frount built to suit that bar, inbuilt fog lights and the fog light conversion kit ie new stalk relay (if you have the Lardeo you will need this) etc. full mounting instructions and is only 18 months old. It has a couple of scratch's but apart form that is in very good condition.
the whole lot for $800.00 ONO

as mentioned you can see the pic's in this thread. Let me know if interested
Jenko
