ok cheers
last question...... do you need to wedge the axle mounts when you fit these military shackles or is 1½" not enough to worry about?

Nah it's fine. I haven't bothered and many others don't either
Check your front propshaft has enough sliding joint movement when you have fitted them.
My landrover with parabolics springs on caused iussue with front propshaft pulling seal through collar on sliding joint as the new angle had made it shorter.
Made up a hybrid as attached to get out of the problem but now the sliding joint is worn might have to obtain a longer replacement.
Hybrid is range rover prop end flanges and series propshaft gives wider yoke angle and 3/8"gain in length.

just looked on their site - the ones paddocks have are GME £175+vat for the rears and £97+vat for the fronts. i think delivery is free tho. but still not much difference in price
what are the GME springs like?
