Damn those are meaty!
What are the seats like compared to the standard Puma ones? |

The bases are firmer and the uppers are definitely more 'figure hugging' !
I'll be putting the original XS heated seats up for sale on here in a day or so.  |

Obviously wider arches, lift too? Looks great, how do they ride? James

They're the Terrafirma +50mm arches which I've had sprayed up to match the truck.
Glyn Lewis 50mm suspension spacers front and rear so still standard springs and shocks. The wheels are 15x10 ET-33 so the track is approx. 120mm wider than standard They ride well, had 285s on previous so not a massive amount of difference. Going to fit the front cranked arms next week and then should be done  |

Standard shocks and +50mm spacers? Surely that does not leave much travel in the shock?! Am I wrong!?

The rears have had the shock mounts lowered with a Glyn Lewis Shock Drop plate so maintain their original travel.
I had an in depth discussion with Glyn around the front ones and he reckons there's enough travel in the standard front shocks not to cause an issue unless you're going rock crawling . I'll run them for a while and see how they get on... |

You need the 50mm lift and the wider arches to avoid rubbing, appears to be sufficient clearance without having to modify the bodywork further though |

Why not just fit new 2" lift springs and shocks?

There's nothing wrong with the original springs and shocks and the lift kit is only £100 ish.
