Well done that man, did you get any mid-op pics of the bulldog spacers going on? Others would benefit, I'm sure.

Angle grinder will be coming out today, hopefully just a little trim and gonna try and change the torsion on it to lift a bit, have plans eventually to lift a few inches but want to sort other bits our first.

here you go bud, some pics of how much I trimmed off mine g314-wheels-and-tyres.html
if you follow the how to on doing the torsion bar lift ..... once you've got the locking nut out of the way (the top of the 2 nuts on the thread) , make sure you have a spanner on the lower nut when you adjust the torsion bar bolt from underneath (if that makes sense) or nothing will happen

So ordered theses from xjapun

and these from Jo (CCcreations)

Huge thanks to Jo for making these just waiting for them to turn up hopefully tomorrow

and a nice pic showing why i haven't been doing much to the truck at the moment.
