i'll second that, running on maxiss buckshot mudders and flipping excellent. couple of local squadies are on maxiss and they havn't got a bad word to say.

have you done any rear lift shogun4x4? lwb springs on a swb is the quick fix for a two inch lift. you've already done the torsion bars to finish that one off.

can you do a write up with any possible pics for the rest of us that may consider doing this??

thats thrown some light in the tunnel, but the chappy in the thread only had 3/4 inch thread travel, will that mean for a two inch rear lift i may have to change the torsion bars on the front anyway, or should there be enough travel in them??? help, anyone done the rear lwb springs on a swb lift??

You only have to turn the bolt about 8 turns for a 2" lift. So the bolt doesnt have to extend by 2" mine went up by about an inch if that.
