Hi All,

Just a quick update on the progress.

I have in the shed the following parts

50 mm extended forks

adjustable panhard rod.


5.38 R&P's
Front difflock

I have ordered the following through Dobinsons

40 mm lift front Springs (Spring rate is 540lb/in appariently)

35 mm Lift TJ Wrangler rear Springs ( Should give me a lift of 4-4.5 inches in the rear) I went with the TJ in the end as the JK is 400kg heavier than the TJ so the springs could have been to hard.

Still researching Struts and Shocks. I have sent an email and spoken with Ultimate the other day. My research has also found that KONI still make shocks and Struts for the Sportage in the European Market. I sent them a query on line however I have not heard back from them yet.

I spuse I better start another build thread soon.

Cheers, Chris
