yours by the way is looking very good

have you fitted those rear twin shocks yet ????

i will be doing that too as soon as my bits arrive

No, Still not got round to it yet. Too much else to get done, CV joints, rear prop, Rangie brakes etc etc.........
I'll get round to it soon, still got to get a pair of +2" ES9000's before I fit the mountings!  :wink:




are the wizardbiult mountings lower than normal or do you just weld the top mounts where you like

ive got a set of 2 inch lower front turrets with double shock mounts being prepaired and a set of rear shock mounts 2 inch lowered.....but i need an extra rear shock mount that will match

Wizard's mounts are standard top mounts and you get the bolts, washers & nuts (stainless!!) in the kit so you just line up where you want the shocker to go and drill the chassis to take the standard mount.  :D

just buy a set of jackable sidesills

put them on and mark the amount to be removed

then take them to your local blacksmith and have him weld up the ends

thats what im doing and i am also making them into sidesteps aswell


If they are galvanised (or powder coated) when the ends are welded up you'll have a nice bit that rusts faster than a british car at the sea-side, so you'll need to galvanise/powder coat or paint the ends again... Easier to get them made shorter in the first place I reckon!
