    OK, so i did a little testing today. not bothered with the spring spacers on the back. it seems to be lifted enough and the front has had the torsion bars wound down last weekend. The backs went on fine. the fronts rubbed some so i trimmed a bit of plastic and cut a bit of the metal out of the rear of the front arch. The right side is done new with enough clearance for full lock. The left side will be done tomorrow. then im having a 4 wheel laser alignment, then im going out to play.
    Pictures so far...

    Cool..Looks good...

    ...but FYI, under compression / off road...more trimming may be required...
    ...so be prepared for that!

    You can also see in pic 2 , the rear wheel is now sitting forward in the arch...

    .... if this becomes an issue, adjustable rear links from Indy 4x4 are the cure!
