Its been 2 weeks in the making and iv finally got it all together and now just need to raise my shock mounts on the rear to accomadate the new rancho's i got.

Ok guys got a much better flex shot and my new swivel bush setup is complete and in use.

Dam.. That's some insane mods there..

One question.. Road legal??

But insane...

just need a mod plate for the bolt on A frame other then that yep

While she's all flexed up she sits flat and level, good work man cant wait to see it in action out at the gorge. How she feeling on the road a little roly ?

Will talk soon.

That's nuts. How hard are things like that to get road worthy??

All depends who you know

alot of bolt in stuff is easy providing you can show nice strong clean welds good high tensile bolts ect and looks the part no dodgy looking, suspension brakes and steering mods are the hardest to mod plaate as thats 100percent safety right there.

Well its been awhile, my rig been sitting with a dead alt and a flat tyre so i started ripping the alt out replaced the coil, points, give it an extended rotor button and new cap.

Also decided to flush the old coolent out and give the power steering a service and new oil, while i am waiting for the new alt i decided to put it in the shed and started ripping the radius arms out to fit a wizard 5link into the front.

Got started on this today at 1pm and geez not overly impressed with the setup so far, the drop boxes for the lower arm needed some major grinding to get it to sit right and to get the cross member bolt holes to line up then the bracket on the chassis for the upper arm is all wrong it should have been made so the chassis mount for the upper arm was higher and more forward then the lower and it flex's really bad off the chassis so im going to have to add a few extra bolts and later on ill make a new bracket for the uppers to relocate them properly.

So basically 6 hours later i had one side mounted up now tomorrow i just need to go get some new bolts and get stuck into the drivers side and it will be all bolted up and finished by wednesday arvo ready and waiting for my alt to arrive so i can go give it a test.

this picture shows where i need to add bolts now to stop it flexing and where i want to move that mount later in the year.

here is a quick picture of wheel travel with the 5 link

Chucked this in on Sunday too

Nah just bottom mate, need to extended bumpstops on front by 80mm so i think the 80series style will work just fine so ill change to them and then use the fronts in my rear.

The ides for how i made it was just to pull the coil back against the seat to stop it wanting to spin while flexed so it lines up with the upper coil seat.

Here is the long awaited flex shots with the 5 link in the front, thast only 6" shocks so im ordering new flexi coils and new longer shocks soon as i get other things on the list that are much needed done.

Dam.. That's flex... And how is it on road?

Could you put up pics of the front setup.

Yeah mate ill take some pictures later, also handles great at 4" coils, 35" tyres on neg 44 rims
