Well, with off-the-shelf items, I am happy with the performance, eventhough I am lookinf for stiffer rear shocks as the N76s are WAY too soft and must be replaces with a stiffer 29+ shock. Pics herein:

Way cool! What are you using to get the front to drop so much. My rear end drops out forever but I haven't found the right setup to get the front to move like that. Let us all know the parts you've used in your suspension. Thanks.

Greg.

Thanks GregS!

The front set-up is already done before:
Springs: OME 764
Shocks: OME N73
In addition to Blue Polybushes and SS brake lines (ESSENTIAL).
That is it. I do have to admit that the heavy weight on the front allowed it to flex MUCH better, and that is understandable. I went out a couple of days before that without the bumper/winch, the tires barely stuffed.

Whoever told you that unretained is not stable is wrong. A retained Disco was about to roll where I was crawling with ease. We repeated the section with him in the passenger seat, and he was amazed.

Front end is simply OME 764 with OME N73. Nothing new there actually. EE guys been using that for a couple of years now (guess it looks more with the bigger flared openings...:-))
