Still not sure whether to run coil overs or shockwaves. I like the simplicity of coilovers but the the flexibilityof airbags would handy seeing the car is sitting so low and also being able to dump it on the floor would be cool too.
During the week Taigue and the boys managed to shoe horn a VN radiator complete with rear mounted thermos into the front end. Ive also come to the inevitable shocking reality that my front wheels are too big to fit under the guards. Anyone got any tricks to fit big front wheels without tire scrubbing.

Hi Mick love the ute, i dont think you will have room to run shockwaves because of the watts linkage set up. I have fitted a set but have a triangulated four link which negated the need to run a watts linkage. I saw in a post of the Black Beast (Ek4us i think) where he used curved 20x20mm. RHS inside the front guards to pump them out, might work for you. Cheers, Taz

Hi Taz, I reckon the biggest issue with running the shockwaves is that to be able to drop the air and slam it on the ground you need to allow so much more clearance around the diff and the above the wheels to allow for the extra travel. I reckon its already going to be a struggle just getting the exhausts over the axle as it is.
