looking at these on ebay anyone used them what are they like? are they worth using Im after a bit more hight but the springs/shocks work well that are in it I know I will have to sue longer shocks in the rear.

if I use these spacers will I need some camber bolts to adust the camber back to std? or is this not a issue?

Yeah you're right its 50mm not 2 inchs so just a touch over.
But much better cause im running a bullbar and winch so it weighs it down a touch.

Did u get gears yet? where, how much?

It's a hard job to document because your hands are usually covered in oil.
I've got a pretty good set of instructions with big colour pics I can forward if anyone wants them.

What do the gears do for you in regard to the size of the tyres?
