Mik's was Clayton and Vince Bentley's is also Clayton - 8" long arm with rear coils. He runs 35" BFGs and I've had the pleasure of driving it briefly. The rear coils make it feel like a completely different vehicle, the rear is usually the stiff part on an XJ but the coils make it sway more than the front so on-road it has to be driven really differently. Solid kit though  :-D

Just liked the nice bit of engineering that goes into this sort of thing. no way i'd have mine lifted that high, Mrs Dave complains at the moment especially when the xj needs cleaning
