So did you just double post your way to 10k?
Nice one though. Bit of a donkey moment, bet you were glad you found out on the drive!

I've heard that snapping bolts can be dangerous
did you manage to get the bolts out of the tub without ripping off the rear metal mud guard things ?

I was actually disappointed when one on each side of mine didn't snap cause it meant I had to undo them all the way

the ratio of bits that I've took off compared with bits waiting to go on is different between you and me but the quantity is probably the same

Right then , mine are tighter than they were but there is still some movement in them (if that makes sense), so not as tight as yours
I have a feeling that the 2.5 inch lift you have done has thrown up a couple more challenges than the 2 inch lift I did

I will have to remove the sticks cut bend and weld them, at least it will be neat I may not have to trim the plastic either if I do a good job
