Hey Ben, big lift and big tyres is good on the track but get ready for the maintenance. The steep angles of the control arms bring constant problems. My rear lower arm bushes are screwed again in less than 2000 km and one off road trip. I think I'm going to talk to an engineer about replacing the bush style joint with a more heavy duty style. Can't be bothered with a long arm now but if only I could turn back time, no one would convince me to take the short are option. Oh well...
Urethane at the rail and metal ball thingys at the diff. What do you recon I should do. Have the full traction adjustable arms in it now. The bushes cost me about $300 to get custom made by pedders 2000km ago. Could go get them to do it again under warranty but I bet it won't last long. Need a solution. Wonder if I can get the metal ball ends on both sides??? Or maybe go the PPM lower arms for 400 odd dollars if they have off the shelf bushes for them locally, but I still recon they won't last
Lots of people swear by the Nissan Patrol OE bushes....they should fit the full traction arms
Interesting Greg... I was looking at the 4" Full traction long arm kit but then decided on the short arm 4.5 Clayton off road but from the website (All of arms feature either Currie Johnny Joints or Clevite mechanically bonded rubber bushings) and heard nothing but good things about Clayton, kit also comes with Tom Woods 1310 drive shafts

Do you have them linked somewhere? or are they uploaded with tapatalk? They look like they are iphone app size ;) I'd be keen on looking at them and getting a few for a certain website update ;)
