Re: Mick's Lux - REKON & XROX Has Arrived
Posted: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 6:26 +0000So the run down on what’s been done: -
Rekon full kit lift in the front with Rekon rear shock and Buds extended shackles. Life is currently at the lowest setting waiting for the front to settle a bit further.
Had the Xrox fitted by OL in Newcastle and cannot be happier with how it has come out. I got the Xrox and Light force Blitz deal that they offer back in July. Whilst I was at it picked a sweet deal on a winch and had the XXX lights fitted to the wings which I think look great.
The guys at OL fitted the winch controller box under the bar as the Blitz are so big so the mount the plug for the remote in the Xrox which looks trick. pick below
Belwo are some pic's of the CV angles
Pic of Buddys shackles

Posted: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 6:29 +0000Thanks for the replies and commets fellas.
As for big rubber it is on it's way with some 17" Fuel Hostage Black rims with some 285"s.
A front Elocker is also being considered as well.

Re: Mick's Lux - REKON & XROX Has Arrived
Posted: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 6:36 +0000So last but not least a big thank you to Matty from MR. He helped me out with a place to fit the Rekon kit plus a lift home whilst it was being fitted.
Once again mate thank you.
One very happy customer here, love how the truck looks, feels, drives it's awesome.

Thanks Troy, finally getting there.
Front is still rideing a little high, so hopefully that will settle soon.

Posted: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 7:37 +0000Have you got measurements of before and after?
Re: Mick's Lux - REKON & XROX Has Arrived
Posted: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 7:50 +0000Mick the front will take a few weeks to settle at ride height, both coils and struts need to be 'seated' and 'driven in'. Give it about a month I reakon, as mine took close to that to fully come down....

Measurements as follows -
Before
Front - 485mm
Rear - 520mm
After - Front on lowest setting
Front - 595mm
Rear – 585mm
# Measurement done from centre wheel to bottom of flare
Stock height is around 500mm front and 525mm rear (correct me if I'm wrong) so front is up almost 4” over stock but should settle 10mm – 15mm over the next little while, so about 3” which is what I was after.
