You might need some wheel spacers to keep the front from rubbing the radius arms. That extra 2" is what really caused me problems with rubbing. If your interested ill probably be selling my spacers or you can go cheap like me and invert your wheels its just a PITA to mount and put air in.
I would probably be interested in your spacers. Let me know if you go that route!

Oh - I forgot I had a pic on my phone from the other day. This is after we finished and were having a beer:

Looks awesome, you need to bust out that DSLR and take some more though. I'm especially curious about the top shock mount bolt you had to relocate. Thanks for the pic

Will take some good ones today. It's in the plan.

NOTE: I didn't have to relocate anything. This kit bolts right in with absolutely no modification. I BROKE a top shock mount when taking off the original suspension and had to steal one from a junkyard.

Thanks! Still trying them out. So far I love them. Truck rides GREAT. I went with these:http://www.undergroundrovers.com/TF2...it-P21322.aspx

I don't have the extra 100kg front and 200kg rear equipment or load they say the medium kit supports, but I figure it's only time before I do.

Installed 265/75/16's last night. Took it out and beat on it a bit to see where rubbing would occur... surprisingly there's very little. I plan on hacking off the lower part of the front bumper and rear corners of the rear fenders to start.

I tried to take pics yesterday but either my camera is F'd up or my memory card is... my brother did take a pic with his phone though. I'll have it out for more in the next couple days.

Oh - also installed the terrafirma steering dampner. Works great!

They do seem a bit big. Man do they grip though. I'm actually glad I passed on the 33x10.50 Boggers... I was 'this' close to grabbing them just because of the deal I found. They would have been a bit much though.

On the site it shows only kits for DI, Defender, and RRC. I'm not knowledgeable enough to advise if any of the parts are interchangeable between D1 and D2 - although I don't believe they are.

To help manage these tires I trimmed the lower part of the front bumper off. Eventually I'll get a new/better bumper. The brush guard looks kinda silly, but I use the crap out of it making 'new' paths on my friends property. Had to trim the rear corners just a tad also. I can go anywhere with these tires.. I love em!

I keep promising pics - and I swear I'll get off road (with camera) to show the suspension performing. Still very satisfied for 500 bucks and s few cans of Bud!
