Fronts 8.75 +36 with 255/40r18 rears 9.75 +36 with 295/35r18.Nice wider track, surprised how well the invos grip even as a new (under 500km) tyre. Could still fit an 11" wide with 325 in the rear pretty easily I think.Also tidied the engine bay up a bit, moved the catch can under the intake manifold and fitted new lines and fittings. Then used the old catch can bracket to fit a new overflow tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it without the caltracs and it still tramps even with the shockworks rear dampers. I've tried 2 different types of bushes with the caltracs. One being a sleeved poly style bush and even tried a modified ford bush. The Ford bush lasted 3 weeks and the sleeved poly bush split pretty quickly, I'm assuming due to being a bad batch of poly as it was custom made. The ride wasn't really improved with either bush as the brackets that sit around the leaf eye squeak alot and I've found that grease only lasts a week or so before it gets noisy again. So to well and truly sort out I've ordered a 5 link from performance suspension. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are some other kits around that require a lot more work to fit up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav has fitted one to his F6 ute. He's posted pics on his thread on AFF. Looks like a top kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
