Bryan, correction,

you're all truck and trailer!

Of course I was talking about a shed load of horses under the bonnet of your F250 and nothing to use it on

Maybe i wont buy the prime mover,just the trailer and tow it with the effie.

[SSSimon]

That'd be impressive!

Was transmission upgrade in your bucket list of mod-money?

[Nkelly]

18 speed double over drive box behind the 7.3

JW valve body for the 4R100 auto-trans on my truck. Ordered from RR last week. Planning to install at the tech-session 31/3. Man I hope it comes in time.

Also got the RR over-boost reg. I'm pretty sure that I've hit the overboost condition in the truck a couple of time and the RR over-boost reg should stop that happening - so more power going up hill under load and throttle. I'll fit that myself as soon as it comes!

Can you use the shocks you have ????

[Nkelly]

Yep i ordered just the bits i need and clay is chasing them up..

So basically you are back to a 3"lift.

[Nkelly]

2" pro comp springs + 3" hangers and 5" rear block.

5" lift

[SSSimon]

Bryan, can't believe you've gone back to leaf springs after all the linkages you've had on your truck.
I notice the Icon 3" system doesn't come with longer U bolts for the rear axle. If you end up needing a set let me know. I ordered Ruff Country 3" lift kit and got a set of really long U bolts which I didn't end up using. For me, once I'd removed the shortest stock leaf from the spring pack and inserted the higher blocks, the U bolts that were on there still did the job. The rear suspension is a lot plusher having removed the short leaves, which were about 1/2 an inch thick!

BTW, I haven't shelled out yet for the RST hitch (the gooseneck one). I figure if we get a bigger horse float I'll stick to the normal 4.5T towbar. At least that way if I end up selling the big float I have a larger market of buyers - i.e. all the Landcruiser (non-ute) drivers
