Yes please!
I'll worry about extending shocks a little into the future.
Please send me a PM and we can discuss options.

Re: Front Flex
Just for interest sake Peter, what do you think this guy did? Did he put the rear setup in front?
It does look like you can see the shock towers in the wheel arch?

Re: Front Flex
Been talking to that guy a little on Instagram.
It has an X-link front and four-link rear, but with massive lift, which obviously gives room for very very long shocks. You need quite a lot of lift to run 40" tires. He also has "hybrid" front control arms, which use a transverse bush at the chassis end, mounted in drop-boxes.
He also has lower low range gearing, lower diff ratios (4.6:1) and a front locker.

Re: Front Flex
And then there is the issue of road legality and insurance to be considered.
