The total chaos kit comes with custom king shocks, unsure of length at this stage. Looking for a 2" lift only as it has to perform swerve tests etc and 2" was fine in the past, otherwise will just have to jump it!

Should be a great conversion!!!
Does the Navara transfer case drive the front diff on the left side like the Hilux or are you planning on swapping the front diff/axle for a right hand side version?

How come your going with a secondary shock? There is internal bypass available now to eliminate the need for a secondary, just curious as no shock out of the box will ride right and adding that secondary will complicate things, make sure you stock up on extra valve shims!

Yeah navara box is for the L/H pinion, going for the secondary shocks for jumping ute etc. pretty straight forward installation all comes with brakects etc. Hitting jumps at 120+ I want all the best bits! Called Ridiculux for a reason :D

Sick project.
I'm doing a similar conversion here in NSW only I'm running with the 6 speed manual and mines in a 2WD.
Do you have to do a brake upgrade to pass this for rego and engineering ?

Yeah looking to maybe convert rears to disc and looking into options for the front. Has to perform a full engineering and brake test before rego!
