I don't know if it is possible for leaf springs to sag, but Tinus' bakkie is easily 20cm higher than mine at the rear wheels. (Tinus?). Which is a lot taking into consideration that most suspension upgrades are usually only 5cm lift...
So how is this possible?

Tinus jou bakkie het seker nie spacers ook in nie, ek dink nie so nie?

Hahaha thought you would've warmed up to the laidback, but strong and steady 4.2D by now Tinus? Well it needed time to win you over - too slow in more ways than one.

Where did you get the turbo from and what do you mean by turbo friendlier motor? Geniet dit!

When you are used to a petrol engine a normal aspirated 4.2 is just to slow i have pushed a hole in the floor trying to go forward
Replacing pistons with alfin turbo tipe sorting loose sleves with cast iron liners also mod the water channels for termostat to work correctly .
