You know,I had the very same thought in mind!
It will get used again when I rebush the front end.
Cant believe how easy it was to change those keys out!
Lol 1st check and I had it wound down 4"s!!
2 on the key and 2 on adjustment.
She was rubbing in the front badly!
Pretty happy at the moment.
Great to start getting her how I want hèr

Here we are. Just pulled her out of the cave.Bit of a rake but okay for now as is empty of petrol and no load in the rear.
Keep in mind I am going to refit stock body mounts as currently on 2" lift and am going to drop 2" by changing from 285 x 75 x 16 to 265 x 70 x 16 tyre. After that I will revisit the rake and maybe get the leaves leveled.
Will probably unbolt rear jounce stops and fix a new stop to the frame.
Very happy with this small change.
Gonna go for a roll and get some air in that rear tyre. Has a leak.

And check her out!! Just picked her up from the tyre shop. What a change! Both in look and drive. Is 5"s lower now but kinda looks the same with the lower profile tyre. Loving it!!!

A buddy has had my front air dam for a couple of months since a 4x4 trip that I broke and cracked it.
He does a bit of plastic welding and offered to fix it for me. 
Just finished giving it a sand and threw some paint at it.
Is a quick dry paint so will let be for a while and then I'll get it back in place.

Hi Sam!
Thanks man!
Lol it has been a long time thinking about changing the Suspension and things on her.
I was going to go for a blackout look with new wheels.
Yhis was going to be my wheel choice.$830 each and 2 months by sea to get here from your country.
After a lot of thought I realized that what I was really needing was the 2" drop that the 20" performance tyre would allow so I could lower the Suspension a couple of inches.
I came to the conclusion that all I needed to do was find the right tyre for what I had and i could keep the Mickey's on there.
They are pretty tuff and i dont want to lose them.
