Alex, you can use a longer bolt and a couple of lock nuts to effectively extend the rose jointed drop link. That way the ARB will still be in the std position and not stressed out at 2" below it's norm.

As an alternative, space down the front ARB bush mounts, :nenau
Would that work, or are there any issues?:nenau

The 2 bottombolts are 60mm top 50 mm if I remember correctly

I kept all 4 at 60mm.also need 8 m12 x 30 repair or penny washers in stainless if you can find them:thumb2

With the rose joint mod they sit around 45mm lower than the standard droplink thus lowering the ARB and reducing the stress.:thumb2

Right, I'm a little baffled, you've gotta go easy with me :lol

Once I know I will know but that's not yet :lol

I do however need to try and get these bits.

When you lift the suspension on the front the lower control arm what the drop link is bolted to moves down.
This pulls the anti roll bar down with it putting more stress on the drop link causing them to wear out faster.
The rose joint drop links I fitted are 45mm longer so this has put the anti roll bar back up to around standard position and taking the extra stress off of it.
