If Iron man 4x4 ever gets the Patrol/Armada shocks back in stock. Haven't been on the US site in ages.

Yep, there are a few other shock options. They should all work as long as the springs are the correct length. Like the bilsteins.

Also, if you add longer shocks upper control arms are necessary to allow for the droop. Basically you won’t get the benefit of the longer shocks. Just the improved ride quality.

I had some time to kill and clicked through EVERY Y62 page on patrolpart.au looking for interesting things. There are many items that would require some modifications to work on the USA spec rigs, but many that would likely bolt right on. Enjoy...

Removed air compressor and rear seats today. All fairly strait forward.

Swapped the 4x4 control module for fun. The dial and traction button work, which is what I was expecting. If/when I import the patrol rear diff with e-locker I will chase down which additional modules and harnesses I need to swap to get it all working.

Oddly, there is a placebo effect just by having a locker and mode selector buttons. Emotionally, I feel like I’m a better off-road driver ;-) Hey, isn’t much of what we do to our trucks driven by our emotional needs?
