CATS, if you need help to install them yourself, let me know. I wouldn't mind to help out.
You just need BIG coil clamps for the front. The rear you can do it without clamps.

OK managed to get it done at Autoquip in Centurion and also had the allignment done the same time.
The lift is immediatly evident and somehow make the tyres seem smaller
After and Before cellphone pictures included. Will take some better ones tomorrow.
I measured my garage before the fitment with the low profile Outback roofrack and calculatd that it should just fit, but I still had to drop the pressure in the air suspension to get it in by a mm.
I am extremely satisfied in the lift achieved and together with my extended coils it stands VERY tall and can be immediatly noticed when getting in and out of vehicle. On road stability also seem to be slightly worse with the higher center of gravity, but I have not really driven it far enough to give concrete feedback on this.
Hopefully the lift will not lead to premature failure of cv boots as reported on some overseas forums, but I will keep a good lookout for this.
Al in all I am like a kid that got the keys to the candy store and cant wait to see how it goes on a 4x4 track to compare the difference.

CATS, where was this picture taken of the "After" photo? Is it a complex in Elardus Park?
