Bob,
Thanks for the comments.
No engineering required (NSW) and yes road worthy, the Shocks are OME for 2" lift, have not extended them fully yet as far as I can tell.
Insurance is ok with the conversion.
Rear is ARB - OME 2" lift @ 200kg+ (each) constant springs with a 30mm poly spring spacer. Gives about 4" overall, and 3" when fully loaded.
Inkbandit79,
The bracket was $350 including postage. I already had OME torsion bars and spent quite a bit of time getting the front right, jack up adjust, drive around
the block and measure each side, then do it again, and again until right. once the front was realigned, it felt like a different car.
I have been told that the drive shaft should be between level and 22 degrees,
mine is about 10.
Car sits level, many IFS 100 owners asked what I have done, seems to sit higher that most with a similar lift.
I run 275x70x16 (31") as road tyres and
the gap in the wheel arches look massive, off road or touring I run 285x75x16 (33").
The lift allows me to crawl over rocks and through ruts as the articulation works realy
well.
