Bad news I was hoping to get my sus lift in before the weekend springs turned up but so far no shocks spoke to Dave at llama he reckons by 22nd or 23rd so may have to come as standard, I'm up for it ,see if i can source some elsewhere he's given me a couple of other contacts so keep fingers crossed.looking forward to the weekend anyway :drink:

Don't worry too much. I know Tom's truck was standard last year when he went and he was able to do everything.

Not sure how easy fitting new coils is on a B, but I know that you can run an A series with a 2" lift on standard shocks for a while. You still have the lift just not as much travel :wink:
If it's the same on a B then I'd fit the coils and do the shocks after the weekend (but before the annual meet 8) )

If anyone will be getting stuck it will more than likely be my pick up. No weight at all over the rear wheels, it just seems to bounce and go no where :lol: Bald tyres don't help either, but it will give you guys winching / towing practise :wink:

I'm only sitting on a 2" lift with standard shocks :shock: So hoping it will be all good but to be honest there are so many experienced guys out there I'll probably be looking for all new ways to get stuck :D
