That will do it!!

Lots of grunt and 42" tyres are not too forgiving on piss weak Rangie axles. The GQ stuff sounds interesting and at least you won't break it as easy as the Rangie stuff. As good as Rangies are, this is there weakest link overall!!

Good luck,

Aquarangie

as for the specs of the springs I guess you want to know what rate ect ? Well I am not sure they where cutom made and it took some time to get them but they will let your tyer tavle up and down with out the body been pushed up by the sping as most to heavy springs would do. Some also asked about the trailing arms, I will give my trailing arms frount and rear with the springs, brake lines and frount tail shaft, know that is very good value :> I also have a brand new never used rear A arm ball foint for $50 bucks if anyone is intrested?

I will mesure the distance between bum stops over the week end and report back on Monday, as for the arms they are just standard ones. One thing you would have to do is run a modifed cross member to allow clearance for the frount tail shaft I have one that you could have with it :>
