Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing what knuckles you used or adaptors and how how you did it. What are you running on the rear?

sweet lookin!

Ditto Beerbeddie, I'm also lookin forward to the how and where and whatnot.

Rogerfied, why changing from springs? Not stiff enough? Too squidgy? Or just want them adjustable?

The rear springs are Ultra low Commodore ute, they handle the weight of the LWB just but would not stand up to any extra load so am changing to 3500KG air bags.
This will give me the ability to stiffen ride when required, will also help when towing the boat.

That is a work of art Rogerfield!
I was talking to Johnno about your work the other night, he had passed on much praise of your skills, I can see why now.
Good work!
