Herewith pics of Gerrit's AWESOME lorrie , Gerrit we will need to go again, I must have had a lapse of concentration ( possibly playing cricket the day before getting hit on the head by a bouncer from Allan Donald ) but I took no photo's in the cross axle section where if I recall correctly your vehicle was the only one that had no wheels hanging in the air ??

Ons het gesukkel om die smile van Gerrit se gesig af te kry :biggrin:

Donalds White 4.8 actually has a good balance between front and rear flex doesn't it, with sway bars.

Jules front and rear looks extremely supple and the front looks like its really working now with front sway bar removed.
Both Donalds Y61 and Jules' Y60 have aftermarket replacement bumpers. I suspect the added mass up front helps to force the front end to flex a little more.

i know what you mean, i got HD leaf packs in the rear , everytime i leave for a technical trail i load it up and fill both tanks (175 Lt) to get the wight on the rear , however, with a stiff rear it forces the front to work more in my case.
