In an effort to increase articulation I removed the front stabliser bar from the front. I must stress you should inform your insurance firm. as for handeling I was consious of the fact it was removed so always cornered slower, but to be fair I never realy noticed it was missing.

Rear shackles do work but many people say it weekens your springs, this is not strictly true, generaly most people do not extend the bump stops so the springs have to flex further than normal before the bump stop does its job, thats what weekens them.

I had 235 75 15 mud tyres on mine and had to remove the front mud gaurds because it caught the tyre on full lock.

I did concider a cheep body lift using 2 inch box section, but I ended up damaging the truck beyond repair before I got around to it.
