i bought one of wizards kits from billing for my rrc  top quality kit and comes with everything you need to do the job

replace the body mount bushes and washers while your at it tho as they are bound to be tired not hard to do though more fun if anything jacking the body away from the chassis rust is the biggest problem well for me anyway lol

just cut the wheel arches out, its much quicker, you know it makes sense, ha ha, you know that clutch you sweated blood over in the pouring rain on my 300tdi xs, well it got smashed up, even bent the chassis, i should have sold you the bull bars when i had the chance, ha  ha

na you cant as i looked for them too, its worth changing the lower washers aswell as mine were rusted away and have a distance piece welded to it to allow the bush not to be overtightened i got all my stuff from mm4x4

Hi
 Not really, but i do have a set of 30mm body spacers in the workshop that are looking for a good home.
If you need a full kit i am sure we can work something out.
