Oh I see! I've got cutting discs here ready, same thing happens on most leaf spring bushes! The rear upper shock bolts snapped the other day, bit of a pain but I drilled them out and have got nuts and bolts there now. I presume the kit has new spring bolts in it?

BK, do you notice much difference on road with gearing and handling with the maxxis? I measured them today and they are really 30" tyres.

The kit arrived Thursday before last and was fitted in about 3 hours, but yesterday was the first real run, had done a couple of local lanes but solo and without a cameraman.

Feels great on the road, definately notice the higher gearing though, slips in and out of overdrive more often and does use more fuel, but that was expected.
