Suspension Install

Nearly ready for our trip now.

I had TJM (Reynella) install some aftermarket suspension in the Cruiser.  I felt the front end was way too long and I didn't like the way it points downwards at the front.  The put in new struts at the front which gave a 40mm lift and also compensates for the extra weight of the bullbar and winch.  The rear has a 20mm lift and I also installed Polyair bags which can be pumped up to cope with high loads.  I am really happy with the install.

Before the lift...........

After the lift.......

 

It does get plenty of suspension travel now.......
