Thanks Gary, that makes sense regarding the future owner, not sure I'd save much weight, if I need to the dog can go on a diet. Yes, I have used the original top mounts. Given that I don't need to avoid the rotoflex doughnuts, there was no need to use the aftermarket extension brackets, which is a bonus as I didn't fancy lifting the body to insert them.
As for the shocks, I just bought the standard ones from Rimmers. I've also replaced all the bushes with blue polybush.
Cheers Paul
