Baz, have you found that your rear springs have been touching the shocks or have you managed to get away without moving the bottom brackets of the shocks using the repositioners? Andy

Dirtydogz, one inch body lift? I've not seen one advertised but I was thinking it would be possible with the existing bolts, one inch nylon spacers and re arrange the rubbers, is that what you did?

I used the large rubber at the top,and the bit i cut off under the washer and nut, works out to be about a 1"inch lift, with the spring spacer just over a 2" inch lift.
If you go to technical on page 8 and look for eco spring + body lift this may help.
