Looks real good!
I would be interested if it doesn't cost too much to send to Europe... ::)
I have longer springs already, so I wouldn't install the spring spacers till I figure out how to lower the front diff... But interested anyway!
Congratulations on the work! ;D
I'll wend you a pm ;)

Im not a camber bolt fan NEVER use MONROE ones they are shit every set i had we torqued them to the spec a month later they snapped. Use ingals there harded steel.

I did not use camber bolts as u grind the holes on the struts by 4mm inwards and take the lip off the spindle and the camber is good and u still have some adjustablity

Well guys as stated before im gonna be lifting the back more then the front due to the IFS. The rear will now be a 1.75" spacer for the WL7 it will be a 2" spacer.

Went camping loaded it right up it only sank .5" and the ride was awsome handles like before.

So what would the price be without the rear shocks?  If I asked nicely could I get the collapsed/extended dimensions of the rear shocks?  I have a favorite brand I'd prefer to use.

How about without the strut spacer stuff and rear shocks?
Would it be possible to use the rear lift and front lift but with the Old Man Emu longer front struts?

Possibilities... 8)

Well guys ive sold two kits. One for a tracker and another for a GV the 4cyl kits will just have a slightly smaller 1 3/8" spacer due to the less weight engine and it will sit even.

Congrats. 8)  I'm definately interested in at least the coil spacers and bump stop extensions, just gotta get past the tuition pain I'm in right now. :P

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the front strut extensions instead of a longer front strut like OME or BDS?

The longer OME struts are a good choice but the 250 plus shipping is alot for them. But i think they are a great strut but for the price of them u can get my whole lift. My truck has over 100,000km and sure the struts do have alot of wear on them but the truck rides smooth on the highway and off road they work great no bounce. Ive ridden in a friends truck with OME and they are very ruff.

Does spacing the struts down the 1-1.5" result in a loss of potential up-travel in the suspension?

Well in theory yes cause ur spacing the strut down 1.5" but ur raising the truck 1.5" so u wan the shock to be in the center as there are damping zones in the struts if u have the strut fully extended ur gonna be ridding in the harder damping zone. When u lift the truck and space the strut u drop the truck down im 2.25" oin the center total shock lenght is 6.25"
