how does it handle on the road without rear arb? mine is my everyday car as well as my off roader and i have 2 kids.

Mine is my everyday vehicle and work truck, and I have 3 kids

You get a bit more body roll, but I have spent all afternoon driving amlessly around the country side trying out farm tracks and allsorts and I can report that road holding is not affected.

If you are doing extreme offroading, do it, other wise don't bother as you'll get enough articulation in standard

flexi's?

Im also torn between either 2" springs or dislocation cones, I have both here. Probably going to be cones so I still have decent amount of drop on the front suspension.

How does the standard prop shaft fair off roading? Does not fall out?

No probs falling out :lol
However it is at a bigger angle with suspension lift and therefore under a little more stress. I broke a few second hand ones but since fitting a NEW u/j all seems fine :thumbs

what bout standard suspension with no arb? soz for asking all the question just don't want 2 take it off and then turn a corner n the blooming thing topples or breaks something, i'm still getting used to the height thing :doh

but as for the offroading yeah drumclog is pretty extreme had my car cocking a leg most of the time

will improve articulation, But don't forget to think about insurance.

Won't make the car roll over, Just bit more body roll around corners.

Also longer shocks help

A big waste of money that is, modified 4x4's are cheaper to insure than standard if you use a specialist broker - see my insurance thread started today :thumbs
