Wagon looks sweet Trev! 8)
How did you get those tyres in there? I' guessing rolled wheel arch but any thing else?

Thanks Jake, the tyres fit no worries, just have to be spot on with the wheel offset, I still have to pump out the guards a bit, Trev 8) .

Just a bit more on this it would appear wagon springs are a little different to sedan. I flipped the shortest leaf as it has no brackets on it. Other than that all is the same as Trevs.

I don't recommend doing them in the car unless you have a hoist, faaark it's hard work....

Thatd have to be a pretty big pump... Looking foward to seeing how that looks VH.

Devilrod i think wagons and utes have an extra spring or two ?

You could be right, all I know is the shortest leaf in my sedan was maybe 40cm in length and didn't look anything like what Trev has posted up.
