How shes sitting - still needs to settle out

Note these pics were taken before I adjusted the panhard to relocate the wheels so there are bolts left undone intentionally. This is also why the spring looks "bound"

Doing extended lowers to go with the adjustable uppers. 4BFabrications are gunna fit them for me (bit out of my depth getting the pinion angle correct whilst moving the diff back
This thing is gunna handle better than out of the box after all this! Pretty impressive when you concider theres an extra 25mm under the diffs with the tyres and an extra 125mm under the sills from lifting the suspension 100mm. Best of all with the upgrade brakes and rebuilt calipers it actually stops as well.
Just ordering the extended lowers and new adjustable draglink now decided on mecaval tube rather than solid 4140 as I can use OEM ball joints then and lets be honest what the hell are you doing to your steering to damage mecaval - if you're damaging that you've probably got more things to worry about ...
