No not yet (spring spacers)

Just changed the coils, cannot get the struts yet, the shockies are quite long and have heaps of travel

The front will be close to the top of their stroke. Cannot get the struts yet???
When I lifted mine the rear std shocks were to short as well. I mean they still were ok but when I fitted the Ranchos I laid them on the floor and the std shock at full stroke was about 15mm longer than the rancho at half way.
Anyway mate its looks great. I know where you can get spacer if ever ya need them :-)

That can be arranged.

But the spacers might affect my warranty / insurance. (legal?)

thanks mate. I have had some people asking me about spacers for the 06+ and I am just a little unsure if they will fit.

What you need to do Ben is get some CT-18 truckwash. Get a 5 litre pressure sprayer from bunnings half fill with truckwash and then add water. Get rid of all the big liumps under the car with a screwdiver then spray it on over everything.

MOST IMPORTANT!!!!

LEAVE IT ON FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS!!!!!

Then just gerni or wash it of. You will have the original condition under your car again

sorry no flex pic yet
it rides great no different to the original springs just extra clearance, up at DI and rainbow on sunday, heaps of driving in the soft sand and a cupple of trips through freshwater track, hardly touched , only when going a bit quick through the freshwater track and started to bounce from one hole to another.
This time we didnt bring back half the beach under the GV.
