Who's spacers are they? Have you coupled it with bits4vits shock extensions? Do they fit on top of the stock rubbers?
I didn't measure mine before but that looks like a good lift and those spacers look massive.

The spacers came from Ebay. They are 2"high. The front shocker extensions came from Bits4Vits. Cheers Dave for excellent service and the rear extensions came from Supergaz.
Did I laugh at you Gary? How remiss of me. That will teach me wont it. I will have to take the mudflaps off as the tyre catches on full lock.Steering feels ok Gaz. But it doesn't return to centre. Never has so it is going in for tracking tomorrow morning.
I also could do with talking to someone about trimming the wings.Preferably someone local.

U really need castor correction bushes with 2", that will allow the steering to self centre.
Tracking will be a waste of time without castor correction..
Also chunky remoulds make it hard to track.
Just carefully use an angle grinder with slitting disk to trim the arches then just sand em smooth, With the inner metal lip on the rear I bashed them up so I can reinforce the plastic arches as fixings are lost.
So any plans on a winch?
