when i fitted mine i had to lenghten steering by 10mm and the bolts only just went on the flats on the splines, would have been better at 15mm. prop lenghts dont alter as transfer box is mounted to the chassis. also front bumper will need modifing, and i had to bend transfer box lever a little so it would go into 4low. and also theres a brake pipes union that fastens to the chassis near the engine that needs lifting.

i did a 2" lift, my steering was ok but right on the limit, fuel pipe were ok just moved the ruber pipe a bit.

i had to bend my transfer box lever a bit and add i bit on to make it longer.

make up a small bracket for the brake cylinder, i think it was brakes! when you lift it, it doesnt line up with the holes.

watch the line for the vacum hups i bent mine abit, they are a bit weak

which is why a 3inch spring lift is so much, errrr, less hassle, just extended brake hoses!
