Can't give Dave @ Llama enough praise. My springs are sound, starting to bed in a bit now i've done a few hundred mile in it.

That diff angle is awesome. Whats going on with it?

I don't like propshafts going. Snapped a UJ on a tipper i was driving up Millom Bank in cumbria fully freighted.

Took out air bags, air lines and various other chassis mounted bits.
