Haven't done much in awhile, still waiting on suspension to arrive @ ARB, thought I'd re-mount the Led Lightbar to make it "WA" compliant (Read: nanny state)

Ended up with ARB Old Man Emu BP-51 setup (new shocks, coils and leafsprings) - near on 3mth wait at ARB for the suspension
Great on-road, doesn't dive under braking and eliminated most of the body roll. Haven't been off-road yet so pending on that one.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the bp51 gear set you back?

for most not worth the $$$ . . . . $3,800
For what I wanted they are perfect:
1. On-road handling and comfort (wife's daily driver)
2. 40mm lift
3. Off-road performance, I have family and friends in the Pilbara and Kimberley WA (regular visits) so heat and corrogations are a big issue
4. ARB coverage in WAs north and south - if something breaks or goes wrong
