dute,
Im off for a long weekend. I'm back on tuesday so will pm you what the parts cost then. I fitted myself so cant give you a price on what that would cost, but I would say a couple of hours labour.

Cheers,
Shane

Well after a 4 day weekend away at paynesville victoria I am back at work. Got my suspension finished off yesterday, and did a trial fit up of the new wheels with a cooper st 265/75/16 tyre fitted.
Was hoping to try with a mud terrain but the tyre shop had none in stock in that size. From the fit up all looks good and there appears to be clearance under full compression, full extension and on steering lock.
Hopefully it wont make much difference with the mtz in 265/75/16 that I am fitting.
Ive decided on the mickey thompson -baja mtz as they had a good overall rating in the tyre comparison that 4wd monthly did.
So my rear suspension all complete, the rear measurement came in at 825mm with 31x10.5x15 tyres.
Looking forward to getting my wheels and tyres on now to finish it off.

Here's some pics,

And the wheels, Speedy baja black in a 16x8 with a +25 offset
